‘Premier League clubs want Jorginho’

By Football Italia staff

Jorginho’s agent admits the midfielder ‘cried’ after Napoli’s draw with Torino and that ‘four or five Premier League clubs’ want him.

Napoli all-but-lost the Scudetto at the weekend after they drew and Juventus beat Bologna 4-1, while Jorginho has long been linked with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, even telling Football Italia that he ‘liked’ England.

“He’s been at Napoli for more than four years, his son is Neapolitan,” Joao Santos told CalcioNapoli24.

“He felt he could give something to the Neapolitan people. He cried after the draw yesterday, but they weren’t tears of joy. He hoped to do something for the Napoli fans.

“His future? He’s a professional, he gave everything for Napoli, he feels Neapolitan in every sense.

“It’s a difficult time for him, everyone expected more than second place. A Manchester City bid for Jorginho? Everyone knows there are four or five Premier League clubs who want Jorginho.

“Napoli have never talked about anything and I’ve never talked to other teams officially. I’m waiting for Napoli to define his future.

“Jorginho still has two years left on his contract, and if Napoli want to sell him, he’ll just have to find an agreement with another team and then he’ll have to talk to us about it.

“A hypothetical renewal with an amended contract? We’ll have to wait until the end of the season to talk to Napoli. Anything can happen in football.”
