Juventus want Manolas

By Football Italia staff

Juventus reportedly want Kostas Manolas to replace Leonardo Bonucci, but Roma have declared that he’s not for sale.

Bonucci is expected to complete a move to Milan in the coming hours, with talks extremely advanced on a €40m transfer.

That will leave the Bianconeri with a gap at centre-back, and Tuttosport reports that they are looking to Manolas to replace the Italian international.

The defender was close to joining Zenit St Petersburg last month, but the deal collapsed at the last minute.

However, Giallorossi President James Pallotta made it clear yesterday that the Greek is no longer on the market, and the capital club would be extremely reluctant to sell to a Scudetto rival.
