But Spalletti, speaking ahead of Roma’s first full training session in Boston on Sunday, said the 25-year-old was happy in the Italian capital and would not be moving.
Manolas has just come off the back of another excellent season and has forged a reputation as one of the best defenders in Italian football since joining Roma from Olympiakos in the summer of 2014.
Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are all thought to be keeping tabs on the Greek global, who impressed in Serie A last season.
“I want Manolas to stay at AS Roma, I’ve told him already”.
But according to Manolas’ agent Ioannis Evangelopoulos, Chelsea aren’t the only Premier League club interested in the center back, with both Manchesters supposedly in the hunt as well.

However, United are likely to face competition for Manolasas Chelsea and Manchester City are also keen on the 25-year-old Greece global. Arsenal and Chelsea haven’t added to their defensive ranks so far, and look unlikely to change that with addition of the Greek global.
