Manolas ‘agrees €37m exit clause’

Kostas Manolas has reportedly agreed a new contract with Roma, which includes a €37m release clause.

According to Pagine Romaniste, Manolas’ salary will rise to €2.8m, with bonuses possibly taking him up to €3.5m, representing a ‘substantial’ increase.

Furthermore, a €37m exit clause would be inserted, although the website warns sporting director Monchi is demanding for it to only be eligible for clubs outside Italy.

There is also no mention of whether the 26-year-old’s new deal will constitute and extension or merely an improvement.

Manolas turned down a lucrative move to Zenit St Petersburg over the summer and was also linked with replacing Leonardo Bonucci at Juventus.
