Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis insists he won't sell Dries Mertens.

De Laurentiis delivered an update on several transfer stories on Sunday.

He said, “Federico Chiesa? I met with [Diego] Della Valle a month ago and he told me he's not for sale, but that if he ever was for sale I'd be the first to get the call.

“A Mertens-Florenzi swap? False. It's possible that Roma will do something crazy to get Mertens, but we won't swap him with Florenzi. I love Dries a lot, I'll keep him."

Despite repeated denials, it's reported that De Laurentiis called Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani's brother to discuss a return to Naples.

“False. I'd never deny The Matador a meeting, but if that meant negotiating him coming to Napoli it would be impossible.

“I've read that PSG value him at €58m, but I'd never allow them to recover almost the full amount they paid for him."
