Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has responded to rumors of interest in center-back Kalidou Koulibaly and says Barcelona have not been in touch with the Serie A side.
De Laurentiis also claimed he does not think Barcelona can afford to land the Senegal international amid speculation he’s wanted by Xavi at the Camp Nou.
It’s been reported that Napoli want around €30m for Koulibaly, who is out of contract in 2023, and that Barca could offer Miralem Pjanic to try and drive the price down.
However, De Laurentiis is having absolutely none of it and doesn’t want to talk about swaps either.
