Napoli midfielder Jorginho wants a move to Manchester City.
Jorginho is a target for Manchester United, but he favours a switch to City.
The Sun says his agent visited the North West last month when Jorginho played for his adopted country in a friendly against Argentina.
City boss Pep Guardiola is after a holding midfielder this summer as the champs prepare to say goodbye to Yaya Toure.
He is also keeping tabs on Thiago Alcantara at his old club Bayern Munich — while a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk's Fred has also been discussed.
