'Man City an opportunity not to be turned down' - Jorginho nearing move

A transfer offer has been submitted to Napoli for the midfielder, the player's agent has claimed

Napoli have received an official bid from Manchester City for midfielder Jorginho, according to the player's agent.

The Italy international has been heavily tipped to join the Premier League champions in the transfer window, although Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are said to be providing competition.

A report from Calcio Napoli 24 on Wednesday claimed City have agreed a deal with the 26-year-old that could cost the club as much as €50 million (£44m/$58m).

Joao Santos claims an offer has been made to Napoli and admits it would be hard to turn down City's advances.
