Napoli, De Laurentiis:"Chelsea made a big offer for Koulibaly but I couldn't sell him without an adequate replacement"

Napoli continues to be in the transfer news headlines because of the circumstances surrounding manager Maurizio Sarri, attacker Dries Mertens and defender Kalidou Koulibaly. The partenopei's president Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke to BeIn Sport about their situations:"Sarri? There's no problem since he has a multi year deal with Napoli. His 8 million clause can be only activated in another season and that is significant to let him leave. Mertens? I think he wants to stay at Napoli: but we'll then have to ask his wife. If Dries then finds a solution with his partner there's no doubt he'll stay with us and we'll welcome him with open arms. Regarding Koulibaly, Chelsea had offered €55 million, but I told Conte I couldn't sell someone like Kalidou without having a worthy replacement"
