A terrible injury for the Arsenal defender means the club will have to go on the market for a new man.
Per Mertesacker suffered a severe knee injury in the friendly against Leeds on Thursday that will keep him out for as much as 5 months. According to the British Sky Sports, the German defender will miss at least half the season.
This has given Arsene Wenger a huge headache for his backline, but it could also bother Luciano Spalletti as well. The Gunners are in on move now for a defender of quality and the Greek man fits the bill.
Spalletti has stated his desire to keep Manolas for the Champions League this season, and even the player has denounced the rumors in the press.
Manolas, responding to a fan on Instagram, said “Stop reading the b******* the journalists say”. The fan was pleading the defender not to leave Roma.
However, with Premier League money, an irrefutable offer could come to Roma’s directors in the coming days.
Signing from Olympiakos in 2014, the Greek club are entitled to a portion of the profit of a potential sale, per terms in the agreement.
