Reports in Italy claim Chelsea are trying to hijack Zenit St Petersburg’s move for Kostas Manolas at the last minute.
The Roma defender was due to have his medicals today ahead of a move to Russia, but he never showed up at Villa Stuart.
It was later reported that there is a contractual dispute, as the Greek international wants his wages to be defined in Euros rather than Roubles.
Reports in Italy claim Chelsea are trying to hijack Zenit St Petersburg’s move for Kostas Manolas at the last minute.
The Roma defender was due to have his medicals today ahead of a move to Russia, but he never showed up at Villa Stuart.
It was later reported that there is a contractual dispute, as the Greek international wants his wages to be defined in Euros rather than Roubles.
Now Premium Sport is reporting that the Blues are looking to take advantage of the situation with a bombshell last minute move for Manolas.
Roma had accepted a bid of around €35m from Zenit, so the English club would have to match that and then agree terms with the player.
