Chelsea target Manolas unlikely to join Zenit after negotiations breakdown
The Greece international was on the verge of completing a move to Russia, but he could stay in Italy following the latest developments
Kostas Manolas' transfer from Roma to Zenit is not likely to materialise after a breakdown in negotiations between the Russian club and the player.
The 26-year-old defender was set to join the Russian Premier League outfit in a £30 million move from Roma, but a move is now unlikely to be completed.
Despite reports that the deal has fallen through due to Manolas' desire to be paid in Euro instead of ruble, a source close to the player told Goal that the collapse of negotiations has nothing to do with currency.
