The agent of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho claims that the Brazilian midfielder had agreed to join Manchester City before his move to London...
Jorginho signed for Chelsea earlier this summer from Italian club Napoli to be reunited with his former manager Maurizio Sarri at Stamford Bridge.
"It was all done with Jorginho," the midfielder's agent, Joao Santos revealed to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
"There was an agreement, but there was no agreement between the clubs. All parties hve to agree, and one did not.
"Then Chelsea asked what the situation was after Sarri arrived and Jorginho wentt to London."
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola revealed to the media last month that he thought Jorginho was set to be a City player.
"We were close but in the end Jorginho decided to stay with Sarri," the Spaniard said in August.
"I've said before that I want players who want to come here. He didn't want that. We tried, we believed it was done but at the last turn he decided to join Chelsea."
