NAPOLI ace Jorginho is in the middle of a transfer tug-of-war between Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United according to reports.
The Italy international has been the heartbeat in his side’s midfield with Napoli locked in a Serie A title race with Juventus.
Jurgen Klopp is planning for life without Emre Can who is out of contract at the end of the season.
Despite a new deal on the table, Can has yet to put pen-to-paper with talk of interest from Juventus.
And the German gaffer believes Jorginho would be the ideal replacement to strengthen his squad.
Napoli paid Hellas Verona just £9million to sign the 26-year-old in January 2014 and he has since helped the club win the Coppa Italia.
But Liverpool are braced to face stiff competition reports the Times.
City and United are both believed to be tracking Jorginho ahead of a potential summer switch.

Klopp will be fully aware that he faces an uphill battle to sign the Italian if the potential Premier League champions and Jose Mourinho match their offer.
It was reported in January that representatives of the player were in Manchester to discuss a potential future move.
