Jorge Martinez’s agent has confirmed Manchester City’s interest in the striker.

The Blues have been heavily linked with the Uruguayan ace in recent weeks, with reports claiming Roberto Mancini has him near the top of his wanted list for the summer.

And now the agent of the Catania star, Daniel Delgado, has confirmed the ambitious Premier League side are indeed interested in taking Martinez to Eastlands.

“Many Italian clubs have expressed an interest in Jorge, but the only negotiation at the moment is with Manchester City," he told calciomercato.it.

“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. At the moment it is more likely he will go to England."
