London's "Arsenal" is interested in Piraeus' "Olympiacos" defender Kostas Manolas and intends to make an offer for the 23-year-old footballer, if captain Thomas Vermaelen leaves for another team this summer.
The "Gunners" do not rule out selling Vermaelen, as there is only one year left on the defender's contract, and he is also attracting interest from "Manchester United" ready to pay 10 million pounds.
If Vermaelen leaves the team, "Arsenal" would be left with only Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny in defense, so coach Arsene Wenger is monitoring Manolas' situation.
The 185 cm tall defender not only had a great season at Olympiacos club, but also received a lot of praise for his performances at the World Cup in Brazil.
Kostas Manolas is valued at about 8 million pounds, but "Arsenal" would have to compete with Turin's "Juventus", who are also willing to include the Greek in their ranks.
