Aurelio De Laurentiis spoke this Saturday about the departure of Kalidou Koulibaly to Chelsea. Before the Londoners, Barcelona appeared as the main interested party and the Napoli president explained why he had not negotiated with the Catalans.
“I let Kouli leave because he almost begged me and said he wanted to leave, but I told him I wouldn’t sell him to Barcelona because they wouldn’t have the money to pay him, they’re in big financial problems. Then came Chelsea and I couldn’t say no, the player wanted to try another championship and went to the best in the world. We just have to be grateful to him,” De Laurentiis told Radio Kiss Kiss.
The 31-year-old Senegalese centre-back cost Chelsea €40m and will sign with the English until 2026.
