Jorginho had been in advanced negotiations with Manchester City for weeks, but today Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis revealed there had been a change of plan.
“I’ll have to apologise to Manchester City. However, if the player would rather live in London than Manchester, I can understand that.
“If Chelsea are paying him even more, I can understand that too.”
It’s reported Chelsea will pay €65m plus bonuses for the combined purchase of Jorginho and Coach Maurizio Sarri.
“Jorginho would go to Chelsea regardless of Sarri,” insisted De Laurentiis.
