Jorginho is one of Serie A’s hottest properties and he has long looked destined to join Pep Guardiola’s Premier League-winning squad at City.
The Brazil-born Italy international has been lined up to serve as a deputy to midfield anchorman Fernandinho.
Transfer Market Web say Napoli have all but accepted City’s bid of £49m (€55m) plus around £7m (€8m) in add-ons.
However, it seems Chelsea could end up landing Jorginho in a decisive week which will kickstart a summer of change.
Chelsea are expected to appoint Maurizio Sarri as Antonio Conte’s replacement in the coming days.
And it seems the former Napoli boss wants one of his old Stadio San Paolo charges to accompany him to Stamford Bridge.
Transfer Market Web claim Chelsea have made a £53m (€60m) offer in an attempt to hijack Jorginho’s move to City.
Napoli would be guaranteed to receive all of that money – rather than waiting on the performance related bonuses City have proposed.
And that may convince Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis to send Jorginho packing for London rather than Manchester.
Chelsea face a race against the clock to overhaul their squad with the transfer window set to shut on August 9.
And signing Jorginho would be a great way to show they mean business as they look to be contenders next season.
Jorginho is not the only Napoli player Chelsea have been linked with as they attempt to hammer out a compensation deal for Sarri with De Laurentiis.
Kalidou Koulibaly, Elseid Hysaj, Piotr Zielinski, Jose Maria Callejon and Dries Mertens are said to be on the Blues’ radar too.
