Manchester City have been in contact, claims Jorginho's agent | OneFootball

Manchester City have held talks with Napoli midfielder Jorginho, according to the player’s agent.

The Italy international has enjoyed a break-out season with the Partenopei, playing a crucial role in Maurizio Sarri’s side’s rise to Scudetto contention.

The 26-year-old has been linked with several Premier League clubs in the past, but it had bene thought that he may stay at Stadio San Paolo now that Carlo Ancelotti had been announced as their new manager.

However, Joao Santos, the midfielder’s representative, has admitted that the Citizens have been in touch about a potential move.

“Napoli and Manchester City continue to talk, but we’ll have to see if Carlo Ancelotti wants him or not,” Santos told Italian radio station Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

“Ancelotti was a real surprise, but football is dynamic and you turn over a new page quickly.

“Today Jorginho is a Napoli player, he has not signed anything with anyone and Napoli have not negotiated a deal with anyone.

“However, Napoli and Manchester City continue to talk and discuss things calmly. We’ll see what happens in future.

“We’ll have to see if Ancelotti wants Jorginho or not, I don’t know what the situation is right now. The player is certainly appreciated by Pep Guardiola and many other coaches.”
