Chelsea's contract talks with midfielder Jorginho have reportedly stalled - with the Italian star said to be seeking a pay increase to take his salary to £150,000 a week.

Jorginho is one of three core Chelsea players whose deals are set to expire next summer, along with fellow midfielder N'Golo Kante and veteran centre-back Thiago Silva.

And while the Blues have opened negotiations over retaining the 30-year-old beyond the current season, Jorginho is yet to strike an agreement over his contract demands, according to the Evening Standard.

Jorginho is believed to be on around £120,000 a week at Stamford Bridge, and the reported payrise request would see him draw level with the amount earned by his team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta.
