Napoli spent 34 million euros to sign him.

Kostas Manolas: AS Roma to Napoli, 34 million, July 2019

Kostas Manolas, the 26-year old Naxos native famed for scoring the winning goal against Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, was snapped up by Italian rivals Napoli at the start of this month. Over the course of the year, Manolas had been linked with moves to the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal, but Napoli eventually decided to activate his release clause and sign one of the world’s highest rated centre-backs for 34 million.
