Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis admits turning down a €100m Premier League offer for Kalidou Koulibaly.

The defender has been linked with Manchester United this week.

And De Laurentiis stated: “It's true, we had a €100m bid from the Premier League for Koulibaly, but we're not negotiating his sale.

“He's a very good person and we've never had problems with him. (Guillermo) Ochoa and (Francesco) Bardi? They're two real possibilities on the market.

“We want to give (Alex) Meret the chance to recover without pushing him. He's a young lad and we can't put pressure on him."
