Latest: Arsenal trump Inter, Barca, Chelsea with €55m offer for Manolas
According to a report today from Italian reporter Emanuele Giulianelli (https://twitter.com/EmaGiulianelli, via Whoscored) the 25-year-old has already agreed to terms with Arsenal over a summer move worth £47 million, or €55m.
Manolas has also been pursued by Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona, as well as Inter. We exclusively reported this morning that Inter were ready to nail the Greek captain down for June by offering €40-45m.
The idea is that Arsenal don’t want to give up their defensive talisman up now, and are more willing to part with him this summer, and Arsenal are apparently willing to wait, having already beefed up their back line with Shkodran Mustafi.
As revealed in a recent article, when Manolas plays for Roma they concede an average of 0.88 goals per game, while they ship in 1.2 goals a game when he isn’t there.
