Pep Guardiola is interested in signing Jorginho as a replacement for Yaya Toure at Manchester City.
Napoli is expected to demand a minimum €60 million (£52.5 million) for the defensive midfielder.
City and Napoli were in the same Champions League group this season and Jorginho impressed Guardiola home and away.
Guardiola also wants a forward after missing out on Alexis Sanchez.
