The Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolò Schira has reported that Fabio Paratici has offered Santos a loan deal worth €0.5m with an obligation of signing the player on a permanent transfer of €14m.
Schira writes that Jorge’s lack of a European passport could make the deal complicated, but the Old Lady are already trying to secure a deal through his mother and manager Athena Karina, with the agent Giuliano Bertolucci involved in the potential deal.
