Roma and Juventus continue to work to find a solution that will take Kostas Manolas from the capital to Turin next season. The 25-year-old Greek international, who has also been a summer target for Manchester United looks to be getting closer to an exit from the Eternal City and according to Calciomercato.com, the Serie A champions may even be prepared to throw in Colombian wide man Juan Cuadrado as part of the deal.
 

The 29-year-old Colombian has been tracked by Arsenal over the past few months as Juve chiefs get ready to offload this summer. The player’s relationship with the Bianconeri has now hit rock bottom and he too is believed to be looking for a move. Roma seemed unimpressed by the idea of an exchange and want the best price possible to fund their assault on Leicester City for Riyad Mahrez.
