Manchester City interested in Catania's Jorge Martinez - agent
Striker has come to prominence after eye-catching displays in Serie A...
By Alan McGuinness
The Uruguayan has impressed in Serie A this season, particularly in the club's 3-1 victory over league leaders Inter Milan on Friday.
Daniel Delgado, who represents the player, says a number of Italian clubs and an unnamed English team are also monitoring the player.
"Many Italian clubs have expressed an interest in Jorge, but the only negotiation at the moment is with Manchester City," he told calciomercato.it.
"There is also another English team seriously interested.
"We're talking about a player who can play in four or five positions and I don't understand why more top Italian clubs have not taken note.
"We have all seen what he did to Inter, but I fear once again Italy is ignoring a great player.
Delgado thinks that in the end Martinez will end up in England.
He said: "He would like to stay in Italy with a top team, but at the moment it is more likely he will go to England."
