Koulibaly: Manchester United s offer of 100 million euros for me was rejected by Napoli. Andre Antoine said he would leave if I left.

October 31st News Senegal defender Coulibaly is currently playing for Riyadh Crescent. He has played for Naples for 8 years. In the summer of 2022, Coulibaly will move to Chelsea.

When he was a guest on a podcast recently, Koulibaly told a behind-the-scenes story about a previous transfer. He said: "Naples received an offer of 100 million euros from Manchester United and rejected it. Then Ancelotti found me and he said: 'I came here to win the league championship, you What are you going to do? ’ I answered him: ‘I want to leave, why do you ask? ’ Anshuai said that he actually knew about the offer. He also said that if I left, he would submit his resignation the next day.

“At that time, I felt that my career in Naples was over. I had given everything to the team. I stayed at Napoli for four years and could have had the richest contract of my career. That night, Ancelotti called me and said: ‘Come to my room. ’ When I arrived, he opened the door and said, ‘Ah, my friend Kalidou! ’ He was speaking French, we were both in our pajamas, and I was stunned.

"A great coach like him received me in this way. I told Ancelotti that I was not happy at the time. The way the club president talked to me before made me feel disrespected."

In the summer of 2018, Ancelotti became the coach of Naples, and the team won the Serie A runner-up in the 2018-19 season. In December 2019, Ancelotti was fired by Napoli.
