Napoli centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly is furious after the racial abuse in Florence and the Partenopei will reportedly stop playing if another incident occurs in the future.
The Senegal international hit back against Fiorentina fans at the Artemio Franchi last weekend, when Kouliably, Zambo Anguissa and Victor Osimhen were targeted by racial abuse in Florence.
Koulibaly racially abused: ‘Identify them and keep them out of the stadiums’
Should the racial abuse continue during games, La Repubblica reports Napoli don’t exclude stopping in the middle of the match as a protest against racism in stadiums.
Since fans returned to the stands, there have been some serious episodes in Serie A in 2021-22, only seven games into the new campaign.
Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan was targeted at the Allianz Stadium and the Viola striker Dusan Vlahovic had a difficult time in Bergamo during the match against Atalanta.
Napoli could decide to stop playing should the racial abuse continue during games, believing that such a gesture would open a more in-depth discussion on the problem in Italian football.
