Kostas Manolas' agent has revealed that Roma rejected a bid of nearly €40 million (£34.6m) from Arsenal for his client ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.
Ioannis Evangelopoulos has claimed that the asking price was the main reason behind the collapse of the deal for his client, with the Gunners later turning to Shkodran Mustafi instead.
Manolas's representative has suggested interest in the 25-year-old defender remains high but no club has made a firm offer.


'I cannot say where Kostas would like to play but it will be interesting to see which teams will come knocking for him,' Evangelopoulos told Sport FM.
