Manchester City are threatening to walk away from a transfer for Jorginho unless Napoli lowers their asking price of £60 million.

City have scouted three potential signings for the holding midfield role with Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic and Southampton's Mario Lemina seen as potential alternatives.

City walked away from deals for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred and Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez in January, with both players now joining Manchester United.
