The Italian is a key member of Napoli's squad

Louis van Gaal has reportedly been monitoring the Napoli star since the summer after his emissaries that worked on the deal to bring Matteo Darmian to the club, gave the Dutchman added information on Jorginho.

Jorginho has featured in six of Napoli's opening seven fixtures in Serie A this season and is unlikely to be allowed to leave on the cheap with his current contract running until the summer of 2018.

The Italian was a regular in last year's side as they finished fifth in the league and secured a Europa League spot.

Maurizio Sarri's side haven't had the best of starts this season - they sit sixth in the table with three wins from their opening seven fixtures.
