Despite being on the verge of completion for about two weeks now, Jorginho to Manchester City still isn’t official, and there’s a reason for that.
On Wednesday, we covered claims from the player’s agent, Joao Santos, who explained the Premier League side were doing everything in their power to please Napoli, with Aurelio de Laurentiis known to be a tough negotiator.
Wanting to get the best deal out of the sale of their star midfielder, the Serie A club appeared to be squabbling over a handful of millions, but that could all be resolved very quickly.
According to Il Mattino on Thursday, the Italy international’s transfer ‘is a step away’, with Jorginho’s agent flying to Manchester in order to resolve the matter.
The deal will then allow the Serie A club to complete the signing of his replacement, as Betis Seville’s Fabian Ruiz is expected to pass his medical early next week after agreeing a €1.6m/year deal, with the La Liga side pocketing €30m.
This is nearly over, Manchester City fans. Promise.
