The Brazil-born Italy international admitted that he nearly gave up on his dreams due to being financially exploited
Chelsea's Jorginho has revealed that he 'didn't want to play football any more' during his youth days after finding out that his agent had been secretly stealing money from him as he handed the young midfielder just €20 per week to live.
Jorginho's footballing story began in the coastal Brazilian town of Imbituba, often playing with children older than him due to his natural ability on the ball, before moving to Italy to play for Verona at the age of 15.
