The former agent of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has revealed Barcelona were keen.
The Senegal international is being linked with Real Madrid this week.
But Bruno Satin told Radio Kiss Kiss: "He is a player who can hope to go to any club, but he is very happy at Napoli.
"When I was his agent, Real Madrid never showed up for Kalidou, unlike Barcelona. The Catalan leadership has always followed him, as he also has the ability to get the ball out, an important feature to play for Barcelona."
