ARSENAL, Manchester United and City are all set to fight it out for Napoli star Jorginho this summer.
The Italian midfielder has been in sensational form as Maurizio Sarri’s side battle for the Serie A title.
The 26-year-old still has nearly three-years left on his deal, which runs out in the summer of 2020.
But a number of Premier League clubs have sent scouts to watch the ex- Hellas Verona ace, who would cost around £60m.
Joao Santos, his agent told SunSport: “It’s normal for European top clubs to keep players of this type in their radars.
“We’re waiting for May. We wish Napoli could win the league. Then if Napoli wants to renew the contract, we talk about it.
“The same if they want to sell Jorginho. There are no official and concrete proposals for him from UK.
“I don’t know if De Laurentiis will call me at the end of the season to extend the contract of the player. I suppose that.
“We are available to deal with. He became Neapolitan and we are in a family. He is a first level player.”

Santos also believes Liverpool target Jorginho has the ability to become a star in the Premier League.
He added: “I follow Premier League. I’m sure Jorginho has the characteristics to play there.
“He runs more than 13 km every game and he has a great technique. I don’t have a figure in my mind, the price is set by the president.”
