Manchester City have had a bid of £44 million for midfielder rejected by Napoli, according to the club's president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
"I've refused €45m plus a €5m bonus from City for Jorginho," De Laurentiis said, according to the Corriere dello Sport (h/t Sky Sports News)
Jorginho's agent, Joao Santos, has previously said the midfielder will move to the Etihad Stadium if the two clubs can agree a deal, per Sky Sports News.
However, it appears that Manchester City may have to up their bid if they are to land the 26-year-old this summer.
