Jorginho “won’t be very happy” if Napoli block his transfer to Manchester City, said his agent, who confirmed the offer is €10m short and refused any contract extension.
President Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed last week that he rejected a proposal worth €40m plus €5m bonuses for the Italian-Brazilian midfielder.
It’s now reported City are losing patience and will turn towards Real Madrid man Mateo Kovacic instead.

“Jorginho is a Napoli player. Napoli and Manchester City have not yet reached an agreement, as there is around €10m distance between the demand and the offer,” agent Joao Santos told CalcioNapoli24.
“Now City are working on Plan B. The player is waiting for Napoli’s decision. He has another two years on his contract and we will not renew it.
“Jorginho’s contract is owned by De Laurentiis and as of today, he remains a Napoli player. We won’t be hypocrites here, any player would love to go and play under Pep Guardiola.
“I don’t have to say anything to the President, as if he is convinced that it’s a good deal to sell, then he will. If he feels Jorge can continue to do a good job with Napoli, then he’ll aim to keep him.
“Jorginho is a professional, but this is the opportunity of a lifetime for him and his family. If he doesn’t go to Manchester City, he won’t be very happy.”
