Roma signed him last summer from Greek outfit Olympiacos. The player has been an outstanding performer for the Italian side.
The Serie A outfit are keen to keep the centre-half, while Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is confident that a £15million will be enough to secure his deal.
His agent Ioannis Evangelopoulos told that his client has a contract until 2019 at the moment.
He further said that all questions regarding Manolas’ future should be asked from Roma’s sporting director Walter Sabatini.
He told Tuttomercatoweb: “Ask Sabatini if there’s genuine interest.”
Manolas has been eyed as an alternative of Dortmund defender Mats Hummels who is expected to prefer a move to Manchester United this summer.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are not the only side taking interest in Manolas, Man Utd are also keeping tabs and could fight Arsenal in the end.
