Roma slap €45m price tag on Kostas Manolas
The Serie A giants are hoping to fend off the Premier League interest for the defender, and have placed a substantial price tag on the players head.
Roma have slaped a €45 million price tag on defender Kostas Manolas head.
The Greek centre-half is wanted by various clubs across Europe, most notably Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United, although Roma are yet to receive an official offer.
However, Luciano Spalletti's team do not want the 24-year-old to leave, especially whilst Antonio Rudiger is sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury, and are hoping that the high valuation will quash the interest from the Premier League clubs.
Will the initiative work, or will one of the interested clubs splash out on the highly-rated defender?
