The Napoli ace is reportedly attracting attention from both Manchester United and Liverpool.
Manchester United and Liverpool target Jorginho’s agent Joao Santos spoke exclusively to Radio CRC about his client’s future, and insisted that he is happy at Napoli, as quoted via Italian media outlet Calcio Mercato.
According to the Daily Star, the two Premier League giants are interested in signing the Brazilian born Italy international in the summer, who is valued at £25.2 million, according to Transfer Markt.
The 26-year-old is a deep-lying midfielder by trade, and specialises in breaking up play, but he is also a wonderful passer of the football.
He would represent a superb signing for whichever club wins the race for his signature, and although Jorginho’s agent admitted that he could be willing to listen to offers, he insisted that he is currently happy in Naples, as quoted by Calcio Mercato:
“Jorginho doesn’t want to leave Sarri’s team. If there are offers for him and Napoli agree, then we could maybe talk about it but let’s see. Jorginho still has another two years of contract and he could even renew his deal with Napoli in months to come.”
Jose Mourinho will be keen to add another midfielder to his ranks in the summer, what with Michael Carrick’s impending retirement, and Jorginho would fit the bill perfectly.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have Naby Keita coming in from RB Leipzig, so whether they actually need another holding midfielder is debatable.
Following Santos’ comments, though, it looks like Jorginho might just be staying pout in Naples next season.
