KALIDOU KOULIBALY will not join Premier League strugglers Newcastle, according to his agent.
The 24-year-old Napoli defender has been linked with a move to the Magpies, but his representatives have dismissed such claims.
“Transfer speculation linking him with Newcastle is normal," Bruno Satin admitted, speaking to Radio Crc.
“They’re a club in difficulty, fighting to avoid relegation and he’s at a club challenging for the title. There¹s been no discussion with Napoli relating to this.”
Koulibaly has made 20 appearances for the Serie A side this season and his agent has not ruled out him signing a new long-term deal with Napoli.
“There’s no hurry, it’s not an emergency but Napoli want to keep him for the long-term, and settle things before the massive clubs come in.
“We’ve spoken calmly, but the President [Aurelio De Laurentiis] will decide if he wants to offer a renewal to a lad who has improved a lot.
“We have contact with everyone, but he¹s not for sale.”
The Senegal international has also been a reported target for Manchester United and Chelsea with the centre-back said to have rejected a £10million summer move to the Premier League.
