“It’s difficult,” Joao Santos said on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“Jorginho is closer to Brazil than Italy, because Ventura has never given him the opportunity, because of the formation.
“Conversely, the Brazil CT, Tite, is very interested in Jorginho. Now we’ll wait until March for the friendlies, but right now he’s more Brazil.”
