Koulibaly on Gazzetta dello Sport admitted that he would be open to seeing out his playing days at the Serie A club,:

“In football, you never know what happens. I never spoke to Napoli about leaving. If we have to find a solution, we will find it, but I have never talked about the transfer market.

“I also read in the newspapers about my future. But I only want to think about playing, I am 100 per cent [committed to] Napoli and it bothers me to be linked, every day, to this or that European club.

“We will see what the president (Aurelio De Laurentiis) will decide and if he proposes to extend my contract, that would allow me to end my career here. At the moment, I still have a three-year contract and I am not thinking of anything else but Napoli.”

When ask on the possibility of staying at Napoli ‘forever, Koulibaly responded:

 “I wouldn’t say no. But I wouldn’t want to deceive anyone. You know how things are in football. Maybe you say you stay for life and then you are sold…”   #ManCity | #MCFC

“I wouldn’t say no. But I don’t want to deceive anyone. We know how things are in football. Maybe you say you stay for life and then you are sold.

“So I tell the fans that I will give 200-300 per cent while I wear this shirt. I have a special relationship with the people of Naples, a pure feeling.”

In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by Man City xtra, Manchester City fans have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.

Apart from divas like Neymar or Griezmann, they are. They’re professionals and they’re asked not to speak about any transfer rumors until the deal is made. All they can say is things like “I know there’s been interested” but that’s all

Sounds to me like this guy is 100% set on staying, normally they say things like “I don’t know” “we’ll see at the end of the season” “it’s nice to be linked with a team like Manchester City” 😂

“Relax he can’t say he’s leaving without an off1icial bid look what happened when Griezmann did that”, claimed one fan.

while another asked, “Have we ever had good dealings with de laurentis on any transfer ? The bloke plays us like a fiddle”

Another tweet said:”Don’t see why everyone’s panicking. He’s a professional and that’s what they’re trained to say. He could say that in a month then fly to Manchester the day after”
