It seems that the Roma goalkeeper Alisson is not the only Brazilian from Serie A who Liverpool FC are in talks for. According to website UOL today, the Reds have also made an approach for the Napoli midfielder Jorginho.
The outlet claims that Jurgen Klopp’s side have the player as a ‘priority’ to replace Emre Can, whose contract is expiring at the end of the season.
Jorginho himself believes it’s time for a new challenge at a new league, but it doesn’t necessarily means that he will be on a hurry to move.
The player is said to be focused on the end of Napoli’s season, since the club finally have the chance to lift the league trophy after so many years.
That’s the reason why Jorginho will only take a decision at the end of the season. Since the midfielder has made his life in Napoli and has a son growing in the city, he doesn’t rule out staying in case of a contract renewal.
But the news of a move are seen with more optimism by his representatives. According to UOL, they believe that if Napoli sign Lucas Torreira from Sampdoria, they will have to let one of their midfielders go. And between Amadou Diwara and Jorginho, they would make it easier for the Brazilian to move.
Meanwhile, UOL recalls that the negotiations for Alisson are on, while Liverpool stand in front of PSG and Real Madrid in the race. So Jorginho would be the second player of a ‘Serie A pack’ who the Reds plan to sign in the summer.
