A transfer is believed to be imminent for the midfielder at a cost of €50m plus bonuses.
“Jorginho is currently in Fortaleza with his family on vacation,” agent Joao Santos told CalcioNapoli24.
“In football you need signed documents and can do little without them. We have a verbal agreement with Manchester City and we’re waiting for Napoli to agree terms with them so we can finalise the move.
“It all depends on that aspect and next week could be the right time.”
Joao Santos assures that the departure of Coach Maurizio Sarri had no real bearing on the negotiation process.
“Even before Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival, there was already talk of Jorginho’s transfer, so the change of management was not decisive.
“I am proud if they sell Jorginho at that price, but also happy for Napoli that they’d be making such a massive profit. The directors did really well investing in youth and selling them on for big money.”
