Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis insists that he will not sell centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly, who has been linked with English giants Chelsea.
The Blues are looking to bolster their defensive options and have zeroed in on the 24-year-old, who was in fine form for Napoli in the recently concluded season.
De Laurentiis though is not ready to let the defender go, despite the fact that Koulibaly is currently looking for an improved contract at Napoli and making noises suggesting he could go if he does not receive one.
The Napoli supremo was quoted as saying by Italian TV programme Qui Studio A Voi Stadio: "Koulibaly has a three-year contract and will not move from Napoli."
Koulibaly joined Napoli in 2014 from Belgian side Racing Genk and put pen to paper on a contract until 2019 with the Serie A side.
