Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis insists Manchester United would have to pay €100MILLION to sign striker Edinson Cavani
The 24-year-old only signed a new contract with the Serie A club last month but reports have suggested clubs are still interested in signing him.
Earlier this month, Premier League champions United were believed to be considering a £25million bid for the Uruguay international as a possible replacement for Dimitar Berbatov, while Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City have shown interest, along with Spanish giants Real Madrid.
But De Laurentiis insists that Cavani, who is under contract with the Italians until 2016, insists any club wanting to try and lure the forward away from the club this summer will have smash the transfer record.
"They would have to revoke my president's licence if I sold Cavani for less than €100m [£89m]," he told Radio Marte.
"Plus, he would have to be annoyed as he is not worth that little.
"He is worth much more than what those in England have been writing."
De Laurentiis had earlier this year insisted he would reject any big money offers from Premier League clubs following reports that Arsenal and Man City had sent scouts to watch him in action.
