Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis insists Gonzalo Higuain is not for sale.
The striker has been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal.
"I have no intention of selling Higuain," De Laurentiis declared to Sky Sport 24.
"We are strengthening the team and will buy other reinforcements. We have to do this in a methodical manner, not by chance.
"If we can't find the right ones in January, we'll get them in June. I know we must reinforce the midfield and the defence."
