While talks continue around Leicester's Riyad Mahrez, the Premier League champions are hoping to announce the capture of the Brazilian midfielder
Manchester City are closing in on a deal worth around £50 million (€56.9m $66m) for Napoli midfielder Jorginho, Goal understands.
Jorginho and his agent are poised to finalise the move after a payment structure between City and Napoli was agreed earlier this week.
City are still in talks with Leicester regarding a move for Riyad Mahrez, although there is a difference in opinion regarding the winger’s value.
The Premier League champions had found themselves in that position with Napoli for the best part of the last two months, although there had always been a confidence and a willingness from both sides to get a deal done.
