Roma chief Monchi: I heard about Chelsea and Manolas

Roma chief Monchi is confident of the commitment of Kostas Manolas and Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Both players have been linked with moves away this past week.

"I spoke to Kostas three or four times and he is happy with the team," director of sport Monchi declared in a Press conference.

“He wants to stay here and I'd say the same for Alisson. I read about Chelsea interest, but I think they are looking elsewhere at the moment."

“I had an appointment with Pellegrini's agent a week ago and we are relaxed. Manolas and Pellegrini are 100 per cent Roma players," added Monchi.
