A graduate of the youth academy of Verona, Jorge Luiz Frello Filho, commonly known as Jorginho, has been highly linked with a move to FC Barcelona. The 25-year-old midfielder is a favourite of tacticians and pundits, and is known for effective passing skills, composure, and versatility.

Jorginho plays for Seria A side Napoli and could be a perfect fit for the midfield of the Blaugrana, which is somewhat similar to Napoli's attacking flair. Jorginho is a Brazil-born Italian playmaker who is highly rated by the Italian side to be one of their brightest youth prospects.

Napoli's pass maps are graced by Jorginho's technique, ability, and vision, who is undoubtedly the fulcrum of most of their attacks. The Italian's remarkable defensive capabilities add to his strong CV and make him a strong favorite to bench midfielder Ivan Rakitic at Barcelona, as the Croatian has been widely criticized by Barcelona fans lately, for his lack of creativity and influence on the game.

"I would take him to Barcelona but he is very happy at Napoli and has no problems at all." - Jorginho's Agent

Jorginho's agent confirmed their interests regarding a move to Barcelona but also stated that he is having a good time at the Italian club. Barcelona fans would be keen to see Napoli's unsung hero pull the strings for their club and add to their bid for silverware under new manager Ernesto Valverde.
