According to Il Messaggero and The Sun newspapers, Arsenal have scouted the Greek international and decided to activate the release clause in his Roma contract.
His deal currently runs to June 2022 and is being renegotiated, so the Gunners would have to get in there quickly to avoid the clause being replaced by a much larger sum.
Juve have also floated the idea of activating the clause for Manolas, as Andrea Barzagli is retiring this summer.
