Juventus could ask Roma for unsettled defender Kostas Manolas after Leonardo Bonucci’s €42m move to Milan.

The departure of the Bianconeri icon has left a huge hole in the ‘BBC’ defence and there are several options to step in.

According to Tuttosport, the most intriguing idea is a swoop for Roma centre-back Manolas.

The Giallorossi had already agreed terms for a sale to Zenit St Petersburg, but the Greek international didn’t turn up to the medical, scuppering the transfer.

The Giallorossi had already agreed terms for a sale to Zenit St Petersburg, but the Greek international didn’t turn up to the medical, scuppering the transfer.

That deal was worth €35m, so in theory Juve should be able to sign the 26-year-old for a similar fee.

Manolas has been at Roma since the summer of 2014 and has also been linked with Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
