Real Madrid are said to be eyeing up a move for Roma and Greece defender Kostas Manolas, a player who’s available for just €36M.
Los Blancos have been woeful at the back this year, conceding 57 goals in the 47 games they’ve played, an average of well over one goal per game.
This record simply isn’t good enough for a club of Madrid’s stature, and it definitely looks as if the club are going to need to reinforce their options in defence during the summer transfer window.
And it seems like Real are already well on their way to doing this, as Don Balon are noting that the Spanish giants are eyeing up Roma defender Manolas, who they state has a release clause of just €36M.
Given his quality and overall defensive ability, €36M seems like a bargain for Manolas, with the Greek defender’s potential arrival being one that would seriously bolster the club’s options at the back.
Manolas’ performances for Roma in the past few years show that he has what it takes to cut it for a club like Real Madrid.
