Napoli defender Koulibaly won't force move: If fans want me to stay...

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly says he won't force a move away this summer.

Koulibaly is being linked with Barcelona this week.

"The president takes fans' opinion into account, when they don't want a player to leave, that player doesn't move," Koulibaly told Onze Mondial.

“The President tries to please them. Afterwards, there is also the price claimed by the president. Sometimes it was too high for some clubs, and it blocked negotiations.

“You should know that I am not a guy who likes to go to clash to get something. If I have to leave one day, I will leave cleanly rather than fight with the club. Napoli fans don't deserve me to fight or misbehave with the president or any leader to leave.

“They trust me and I try to give them back on the pitch. I don't want to clash to leave. If I have to leave one day, I will leave, but for the moment, I am completely calm and I am well in Naples. We'll see what happens at the end of the season."
