The agent of Napoli midfielder Jorginho has been talking to Radio CRC about rumours of a potential move to Roma. Joao Santos quickly quashed any possible link with the giallorossi when he declared that; “I’ve read reports about this but nobody has told me anything”. He then added that; “Sabatini or the new Sporting Director Massara have never been in touch. I often speak with him and I have a great relationship but we’ve never discussed the player”.
 

Reports in the Italian press this week, revealed that the capital club were looking to strengthen their midfield after the disappointing start to the new campaign from both Kevin Strootman and Radja Nainggolan. 24-year-old Jorginho has been frozen out at the San Paolo due to the impressive form of young Amadou Diawara. Despite his recent omission from the first-team however, it looks as though a switch to Napoli’s bitter rivals is highly unlikely.
