By Football Italia staff

It is reported that midfielder Jorginho is close to signing a new contract to remain at Napoli until 2022.

The Italy international joined the Partenopei from Verona in 2014 and has since established himself as a key player at the San Paolo.

According to Il Mattino, the 26-year-old is set to be rewarded for his consistent displays with a new deal that will see his wages doubled.

The Italian daily claims terms have been agreed between the player and the club, with Jorginho to earn €3m per season in addition to bonuses.

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis is said to have arranged a meeting with Jorginho and his representatives over the next few days, with only the formalities of the agreement standing in the way of the player extending his time at the San Paolo.
