Kostas Manolas Admits Interest in Joining Man Utd & Barça Amid Rumours of Roma Exit

AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas has admitted that he is eager to join one of European football's biggest clubs this summer, naming Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Barcelona as potential destinations ahead of the new season.

The 27-year-old was expected to join Russian giants Zenit Saint Petersburg last summer after a £30m fee was agreed with the Giallorossi, but Manolas snubbed the chance to complete a medical with the club and instead opted to stay in the Italian capital.

The former Olympiacos defender has revealed to Greek media that he could be open to leaving the Stadio Olimpico this summer, reeling off a handful of clubs that Manolas would be keen on joining following his four-year spell in Rome.
