Jorginho’s agent has confirmed that the midfielder will join Manchester City if a deal is agreed with Napoli.
Jorginho has long been linked with City, even telling Football Italia that he liked England after the Three Lions’ friendly draw with Italy in March, and Joao Santos made it clear the Premier League champions were in pole position for his client.

Jorginho has long been linked with City, even telling Football Italia that he liked England after the Three Lions’ friendly draw with Italy in March, and Joao Santos made it clear the Premier League champions were in pole position for his client.
“Jorginho is still under contract, but if Napoli find an agreement with City then he goes to Manchester,” he told CalcioNapoli24.
“Finding an agreement with the English won’t be a problem, considering their importance, but I repeat it depends on Napoli as the player is tied to the Azzurri for two more years.
“City are champions of England and among Europe’s top clubs. Now we must stay calm. If Napoli and City find a solution, we can talk about it, otherwise the player will be happy to stay at Napoli.
“For now, I haven’t heard from anyone at Napoli because I imagine they’re busy planning for next season.
“I hope to hear from their director, and maybe he’ll be in Naples in the next few days to talk about [Jorginho].”
The Partenopei are reportedly demanding €60m for the Italo-Brazilian, while Sampdoria’s Lucas Torreira is the favourite to replace him at the San Paolo.
