Chelsea have opened talks with AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas.
Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla reports Chelsea have already opened talks with the 27-year-old's representatives.
Manolas has a €38m (£33m) release clause in his contract, which the Premier League side are willing to pay.
They like Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly too, but know Napoli will demand mega-money for the Senegal centre-back.
Maurizio Sarri, who is expected to swap Napoli for Chelsea this summer, is fan of Koulibaly, but also likes Manolas too.
