Napoli president: ‘If Maguire is worth €93m, then Koulibaly would sell for €250m’
"The problem of increased player costs depends on England, because there is lots of money there. Compared to Spain, Italy, Germany and France, it is a significant difference. If a club has €800m, there is no problem to offer 80, 90 or even 100m for a player," he began.
The president also spoke about the price of Koulibaly, who had been chased by Man Utd in recent months. However, the Red Devils opted for Maguire instead, paying €93m, which De Laurentiis also had his say on.
"Koulibaly has a clause of €150m. In England, you know, they can spend €93m on a player that I would pay a maximum of €25-30m for. So, if Maguire costs €93m, then Koulibaly is worth €250m? At this point, I believe so," he concluded.
