Manchester City aim to wrap up £44m deal for Jorginho from Napoli
City hope to complete the £44million signing of Jorginho next week following talks between his agent Joao Santos and Napoli on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old midfield playmaker is expected to join the Premier League champions after playing in Italy's friendly against Holland on Monday.
Chelsea were also interested in Jorginho but it seems the former Hellas Verona man is set for the Etihad.
Jorginho is closing in on a move from Napoli to Manchester City after Italy's friendly
He played a key part in Napoli's title challenge this season, though ultimately Mauricio Sarri's side fell short of Juventus.
Jorginho is highly admired and technically gifted in the centre of the pitch and would give Pep Guardiola another strong option.
The midfielder was part of Roberto Mancini's side that overcame Saudi Arabia 2-1 in a friendly on Monday.
He is not going to the World Cup and remains keen on a switch to the Etihad Stadium after his representative Santos, twice met with City sporting director Txiki Begiristain.
