AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas will be available to Chelsea and Arsenal for £32.75m, according to Pagine Romaniste.

The Greek centre-back has signed a new deal with the Italian Serie A outfit which includes a release clause, and interest could be coming his way in January or next summer as a result, says talkSPORT.

Juventus and Zenit St. Petersburg have also been linked with Manolas, whose recent contract has landed him a payrise from £2.5m to £3.1m,

Roma’s sporting director has stated the release clause would only be eligible for non-Italian clubs, which is good news for Arsenal and Chelsea given their reported interest over the summer.
