Man City target Jorginho to hold crunch talks with Napoli next week over £52m switch
The 26-year-old has his heart set on a move to the Premier League champions despite interest from Man United and Liverpool
MANCHESTER CITY target Jorginho will hold crunch talks with Napoli next week.
The Italy midfielder, 26, is top of Pep Guardiola’s summer wishlist.
Serie A side Napoli are in no rush to sell their prized asset, who has two years left on his contract, and have slapped a £52million price tag on him.
But Brazilian-born Jorginho has set his heart on a move to the Etihad, with Manchester United and Liverpool also interested.
His agent, Joao Santos, said: “We will decide his future in a meeting at the end of the month.
“I don’t know if Napoli have received offers but we will talk about it soon.”
City are also hoping to strike a deal with Leicester over January target Riyad Mahrez but have yet to make a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, Yaya Toure has been told he can have a job at the Etihad when he hangs up his boots.
