Napoli defender Kostas Manolas: Title race will be tight

Napoli defender Kostas Manolas is adamant they can beat Juventus to the title this season.

Manolas made the move to the Stadio San Paolo from Roma this summer to form a new pairing with Kalidou Koulibaly.

“Many teams are reinforcing, not just the top ones, but also the smaller clubs like Cagliari or Genoa," Manolas told Sky Sport Italia.

“It's going to be a very difficult campaign and in my view the Scudetto will be decided on the final day. Watch out for Inter, as they are putting together a great squad with the likes of Stefano Sensi, Romelu Lukaku and Diego Godin.

“There are also Roma and Milan, who are just as strong, but perhaps a step back. Juventus remain the favourites, inevitably after eight consecutive titles, but we'll see what the situation looks like after the transfer market has shut. As the President says, we can have one more big swoop."
