However, according to the latest growing news, Manolas is more inclined to leave for Naples. In fact, the Greek player has agreed to go to Naples next season.

Napoli believes that Manolas can be an equal a duet partner with Kalidou Koulibaly. Moreover, Il Partinopei had also released Raul Albiol.

Meanwhile, AS Roma reportedly did not mind leaving Manolas. Il Giallorossi only asked the club who wanted to get Manolas’ signature to redeem the release clause of 36 million euros.

At present, Napoli is trying to suppress this amount by entering Diawara in the agreement. However, Rome asked Napoli to give Dries Mertens. According to Rome, the price of Mertens is more equivalent to Manolas than Diawara.

In addition, the agreement that has been established between Manolas and Napoli also makes the situation more complicated for Milan.
