Kalidou Koulibaly has fuelled speculation that he could be on his way to the Premier League this summer by refusing to rule out a move away from Napoli.
Manchester United and Manchester City are battling it out to sign the Senegal international, while Juventus are also keen on adding the defender to their ranks this summer.
United's interest in the centre-back has long been noted, while City are in need of defensive reinforcements to fill the void left by Vincent Kompany's return to Anderlecht as player-manager.
And the centre-back, who is currently representing Senegal at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, has seemingly put potential suitors on alert by giving an update on his future.
“I don’t know [if I’ll still be at Napoli next year], I think so," he told Goal following Senegal's 2-0 win over Tanzania. “But I have to play the Afcon and then after that I’ll go back to Napoli.
“Everyone’s speaking about me, but I’m only speaking about Senegal, because that’s my objective today and I want to achieve something big with Senegal.”
Koulibaly began his professional career with Metz, making his first-team debut in August 2010 before moving to Belgian side Genk two years later.
The Senegal international's form in the First Division A attracted the interest of Napoli, who parted company with £6.5m to sign the centre-back in July 2014.
The 28-year-old has continued to impress in Serie A, which has made him one of Europe's most sought-after defenders.
He helped Senegal secure a 2-0 win over Tanzania in their Africa Cup of Nations opener, and would rather focus on their bid for success for now.
He added: “I don’t want to talk about my future today, I prefer to talk about Senegal.
“Senegal achieved something great today. I am 200 per cent with Senegal and 200% with the 15 million Senegalese people.
“I’m relaxed, I want to focus on the Afcon and after that return to Napoli and we’ll see what happens.
“The most important thing now is to win with Senegal.”
