The agent of AS Roma star Kostas Manolas claims Arsenal had a €40 million (roughly £35 million) summer offer for the Greek international rejected.
The representative, Ioannis Evangelopoulos, made the claims during a recent interview with Tuttomercatoweb (h/t ESPN FC's Ben Gladwell):
Probably there will be something in the summer, if anything. In general, it's hard to make predictions in football, as it is in life. Kostas has the opportunity to play at a higher level, so I would not expect him to go to China.
European football can offer things that money cannot buy, like fame and repute.
