Juventus, Bayern Munich Reportedly Interested in Roma Defender Kostas Manolas

Juventus and Bayern Munich are reportedly both interested in Roma defender Kostas Manolas, but the Giallorossi are working on a new contract for him.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport (h/t Football Italia), Bayern want to refresh their options, while Juve have found Medhi Benatia to be "unconvincing," and the Bianconeri are also conscious of 37-year-old Andrea Barzagli's advancing years.

However, Roma sporting director Monchi "is laying the groundwork to revise Manolas' contract," which would secure his future in the Italian capital and remove a €36 million release clause from his deal.
