Man City plot mammoth signing as deal for £50m-valued Jorginho draws closer

The Premier League champions are looking to wrap up their summer business before the World Cup and are ready to spend big on a world-class forward

Manchester City are closing in on a deal for Napoli's £50 million-rated midfielder Jorginho and are ready to splash the cash on a marquee signing if the possibility presents itself.

Goal understands City want to make just two signings this summer as they look to build on their Premier League-winning campaign.

They are pursuing a deep-lying midfielder - now likely to be Jorginho - and a forward; the same positions they attempted to strengthen in January.
