The expectations are high for Real Madrid and Barcelona given the impact their football clubs have in the entire world. One player speculated to shine for these teams is Serie A’s standout Kostas Manolas.

The center back has proven to be one of the more consistent workers in his stint with AS Roma and was acquired by Napoli last 2019. Despite his recent transfer, there have been reports of the Greek player opting to move to another team. Speculated clubs include a stint with the Los Blancos, where the 28-year-old can maximize the peak of his career.

Per Everything Barca, Manolas has already considered moving away from Italy. With this decision, it’s also possible that clubs such as Barcelona take advantage of his services. The addition of Manolas’ caliber can be a big help to their current roster. The injury that Samuel Umtiti sustained coupled with Gerard Pique approaching the later stages of his career is a sign for a lineup upgrade.

The combination of speed and strength gives Manolas an advantage on the pitch. It’s well documented that he plays with a lot of intensity and heralded as a beast against other teams. With his style of aggressive action, he has definitely earned his moniker the Greek god of Rome. The way he composes himself shows the intensity needed for any club to succeed.

Throughout Manolas' career, his stint with Roma stood out the most. In 206 appearances, the defender managed to score 8 goals to come along with 6 assists. The passion Manolas exudes defines what every defender should aspire to be. This kind of energy will perfectly fit with historic clubs such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It has been a unique predicament for the past few months given the threat of the coronavirus looming. While the world recovers from the global pandemic, these top-tier teams are ready to bounce back and further deepen their roster. It will be interesting to see if clubs such as Real Madrid or Barcelona find a way to sign a player of Manolas’ quality.
