"Liverpool" contacted "Napoli" regarding a possible transfer of midfielder Jorginho, as reported by the Brazilian portal "UOL Esporte".
He would become a replacement for Emre Can, who is likely to move to Turin's "Juventus" for free this summer, as he does not agree to extend his contract.
Born in Brazil but moved to Italy in his childhood, Jorginho is the main target for the Merseyside club, which is also interested in Roma's Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson.
However, Jorginho is given higher priority, and he is actually considering the possibility of seeking new challenges.
The 26-year-old player played 29 matches in all competitions this season, scoring four goals and providing four assists. The portal Transfermarkt.com values him at 28 million euros.
