A report in Italy claims that Roma are in contract discussions with Kostas Manolas, who has recently been linked with Arsenal and Chelsea.

Roma have reportedly started contract negotiations with defender Kostas Manolas.

The 24-year-old has recently been linked with summer moves to Premier League duo Arsenal and Chelsea.

However, Corriere dello Sport claims that the Giallorossi are determined to keep hold of their Greece international.

Manolas is contracted to the Stadio Olimpico until 2019, but the report adds that Roma are prepared to hand him a lengthier deal and an improved financial package.

The centre-back joined the Serie A outfit from Olympiacos for around £10m in 2014.
