Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has made it clear that if he were to part with AC Milan target Marek Hamšík then he'd only hand him over to Inter Milan.
The Slovakia international has again been linked with the Rossoneri this week after he seemed to open the door to a Milan switch this summer.
He told newspaper Pravda: "(Milan coach) Massimiliano Allegri and (vice-president) Adriano Galliani have praised me and joining Milan would be the turning point of my career."
And Napoli supremo De Laurentiis replied in Corriere dello Sport on Saturday, slapping a hefty price tag on Hamšík's head and revealing he would prefer to sell the player to Milan's bitter rivals Inter should his hand be forced.
He said: "He costs €100 million. Besides, if I really do have to sell Hamšík, I'd give him to Inter.
"Adriano Galliani never asked me for him, whereas (Inter president) Massimo Moratti did and was very polite about it.
"He asked me three years ago for Hamšík, then two months ago enquired if anything had changed. I replied no, but I was impressed by his attitude.
"I promised to Moratti that if things do change, then Inter will have a sort of moral option on Hamšík."
