Roma and their Greek defender Kostas Manolas are close to agreeing a contract extension in the capital. With the player recently expressing his desire to remain at the club, it’s expected that an official announcement will be made at the start of the new campaign. The 25-year-old has been pursued by both Manchester United and Chelsea but is now set to extend his stay until 2020 with a salary of €3 million net per season plus bonus.
