Napoli president hits out at Senegalese defender

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has voiced his displeasure at defender Kalidou Koulibaly, adding he has no intentions to sell the under contract Senegalese.

De Laurentiis was responding to comments from Koulibaly, which expressed his desire to leave the Partenopei after he had attracted interest from Premier League sides Arsenal and Chelsea.

However, De Laurentiis has made it clear Koulibaly will not be leaving Naples this summer, saying “He has a contract for three years and he will not move from here.

“About 20 sponsors have back-pedalled because the image of Koulibaly has lost credibility. His shirt is unsellable.

“He will have to pay millions to Napoli over the next fews years as I now have specialists monitoring the situation.”

Since joining Napoli in 2014, Koulibaly has been a regular in the side making 81 appearances in all competitions for the Partenopei.
