Transfer news: Manchester City angry with Chelsea over Jorginho deal

Manchester City are unlikely to do business with Napoli again, after the Serie A club pulled out of an agreement for midfielder Jorginho, ESPN reports.

Jorginho was a top target for Pep Guardiola, but has now joined Chelsea on a five-year deal worth around €60million.

However, City believe that the 26-year-old preferred a switch to The Etihad, despite claims from Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis, that he would rather move to London.

The Premier League champions believed Jorginho was “bullied” into a move to Chelsea, with Napoli threatening to keep him for the remaining two years of his contract.

A £43m transfer fee was agreed between De Laurentiis and City last month, but Napoli reneged on that deal. City refused to match Chelsea’s offer and walked away from the deal.
