Kalidou Koulibaly refuses to rule out Napoli exit

Kalidou Koulibaly has admitted that he 'cannot promise' that he will end his career at Napoli amid suggestions that the centre-back could be on the move this summer.

The 29-year-old has again been an important figure for his Italian club during the 2019-20 campaign, making 30 appearances in all competitions.

The Senegal international has a contract in Naples until June 2023, but the speculation surrounding his future has gathered pace in recent weeks, with Manchester City thought to be interested in a summer deal.

Koulibaly has conceded that he could be on the move ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, and Manchester United and Chelsea have also both previously been linked with his services.

"I would love to stay at Napoli for life, but I can't make promises," Koulibaly told Radio Kiss Kiss. "I am part of the project and at the end of the season I will speak to the directors. Right now, my mind is 100% on the pitch."

The former Genk youngster is allegedly valued by his current side in the region of £90m, although a recent report claimed that he could be available for £65m this summer.
