Kalidou Koulibaly has accused Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis of a lack of “respect” towards African players.
De Laurentiis claimed that he would not sign African players in future if they wanted to play in the African Cup of Nations because they lose them for long periods mid-season.
The oft-outspoken De Laurentiis said: "Enough of African players, or they should give up playing in the African Cup of Nations. I won't be buying them any more for this reason. We pay the salaries to send them around to play elsewhere in the middle of the league championship. Or they sign a waiver that for AFCON and the championships in South America [the Copa America], I cannot make them available to participate."
