„Napoli“ this summer is not going to lower the price of their defensive pillar Kalidou Koulibaly. While speculating how the coronavirus pandemic will affect the football transfer market, „Napoli“ sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli assured that the Italian club will not offer discounts to their players. „Koulibaly is a fantastic player and we have the right to ask for as much money for him as we want. Many talk about how negotiations with players and clubs will change due to the coronavirus, but in my opinion, it's just an excuse for some teams. I don't believe that this situation can change Koulibaly's or other top-class players' prices. Of course, we would consider options like renting players with the possibility to sell them later“, Giuntoli told „Sky Sport 24“. It is reported that „Napoli“ is hoping to receive at least 100 million euros for the 28-year-old defender Koulibaly, who is being eyed by clubs like „Manchester United“ and „Liverpool“. This season, K. Koulibaly played 21 matches and did not score any goals."
