City and United to rival Liverpool for ‘target’

Jorginho

Manchester City and Manchester United could rival Liverpool for Napoli midfielder Jorginho, claim reports today.

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp is interested in the 26-year-old Italy international but landing him could prove tricky. A host of top European clubs have been linked with him and the suggestion now is that both Manchester clubs could also step in with offers.

Klopp wants to add a defensive midfielder to his squad and Jorginho is believed to be at the top of his list ahead of the summer transfer window which is only a few months away.

Reports linking us with Jorginho are credible but there’s nothing to suggest at this time that we have actually made any kind of formal or informal contact with Napoli or the player’s representatives. At this stage, it just sounds like he’s on the list of ‘possibles’.

One to watch.
