MANCHESTER CITY target Jorginho will hold crunch talks with Napoli next week.
The Italy midfielder, 26, is top of Pep Guardiola’s summer wishlist.
Serie A side Napoli are in no rush to sell their prized asset, who has two years left on his contract, and have slapped a £52million price tag on him.
But Brazilian-born Jorginho has set his heart on a move to the Etihad, with Manchester United and Liverpool also interested.
His agent, Joao Santos, said: “We will decide his future in a meeting at the end of the month.
“I don’t know if Napoli have received offers but we will talk about it soon.”
City are also hoping to strike a deal with Leicester over January target Riyad Mahrez but have yet to make a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, Yaya Toure has been told he can have a job at the Etihad when he hangs up his boots.
