MANCHESTER CITY and United have a fight on their hands to land Napoli star Jorginho.
The Italian midfielder’s agent confirmed “several” clubs are interested in signing him.
Joao Santos told Radio Kiss Kiss: “I’ll talk with the club because Jorginho has another two years on his contract.
“But there are also several clubs interested in him, and we have to understand if Napoli want to move forward with their starters or not.
“At the moment, all we know is that [Pepe] Reina will leave.”
It is understood Jorginho, 26, favours a move to City over United.
Both Manchester clubs have been watching the player, rated at over £50million, as they look for midfield reinforcements.
Santos visited the North West in March when Italy played Argentina at the Etihad.
City are preparing to lose Yaya Toure this summer while United veteran Michael Carrick will retire at the end of the season.
Brazilian-born Jorginho joined Napoli from Hellas Verona after three years on loan at Sambonifacese.
