Kalidou Koulibaly insists he “decided to stay” at Napoli “because I feel good in this team”.
The defender gave an interview to L’Équipe earlier this summer insisting that he wanted to be allowed to leave.
The Partenopei dug their heels in, rejecting a €50m bid from Chelsea, and the centre-back now say he was happy to stay.

The defender gave an interview to L’Équipe earlier this summer insisting that he wanted to be allowed to leave.
The Partenopei dug their heels in, rejecting a €50m bid from Chelsea, and the centre-back now say he was happy to stay.
“I decided to stay because I feel good in this team,” Koulibaly told Press in Senegal, as reported by Il Mattino.
“I know that when I decide to leave I’ll do it without any problems.
“A €30,000 fine for my statements? A lot of things were written, but it’s not true. I have a good relationship with the Napoli hierarchy.”
