Jorginho's agent claims the Italy midfielder would welcome the chance to work with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
Joao Santos claims City have made an offer for Jorginho, who is valued at £52million by Napoli.
Santos hailed Guardiola as one of Europe’s top coaches and says Jorginho would jump at the opportunity to play under him.
“I know an offer to Napoli has arrived from Manchester City,” said Santos. “If Napoli find an agreement with City, we will assess everything.
“Obviously, Manchester City would be very welcome, an opportunity not to be turned down. The coach is one of the best in Europe.”

City hope to land Jorginho and the £75million-rated Riyad Mahrez in a double swoop in the next few days.
The pair are City’s top two summer targets and Jorginho is trying to focus on his World Cup preparations with the Azzurri while the Blues negotiate his transfer with Napoli.
“I’m not thinking about it now,” said Jorginho when asked about City’s interest. “I’m just focused on the next two Italy games.”

City are close to agreeing a deal with Leicester City for Mahrez after failing to reach an accord in January.
Mahrez went on strike when the move fell through and it is believed City will pay a club record £75million for the Algeria star to boost Guardiola’s attacking options.
