Inter Milan are planning to make a rival offer for AS Roma centre-back Kostas Manolas.

Calciomercatoweb is reporting that the Nerazzurri are determined to lure a quality defender to the Stadio Olimpico this month and will go after Giallorossi star Manolas.

Manchester United have reportedly made a £32.5million bid for the Greece international but Inter will come forward with a proposal that could trump that.

Roma want Manolas, 25, to commit to a long-term deal but negotiations have stalled and Inter are ready to swoop as Stefano Pioli gets ready to reshuffle his defence by getting rid of Joao Miranda, Andrea Ranocchia and Jeison Murillo.
