The Uruguayan hitman is a target for Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus after his fine form in Serie A and the Champions League.
“Cavani is not for sale, but we could consider it if a crazy person gave me €100m,” smiled President De Laurentiis on Sky Sport Italia.
“This does not mean it is his price-tag or valuation, but it is what he is worth for me and he won’t leave for less.

AS Roma star Francesco Totti is confident fitting into new coach Zdenek Zeman’s system.
Totti could well move his position in the attack to the flank, as Zeman does not see him as a centre-forward.
“My role? We will see and I will adapt. The important thing is to play. Football is fun, I enjoy the sport and try to give the fans entertainment too. As long as I am physically able, I will try to give my contribution.”

Fiorentina have welcomed new signings Mounir El Hamdaoui and Facundo Roncaglia to the club.
The Viola have seen many changes in their squad this summer, but have brought in forward El Hamdaoui from Ajax and Argentine defender Roncaglia.
“I am very happy to be here and hope to be useful for the squad,” said El Hamdaoui.
“My preferred position is second striker, as I like to play around the centre-forward. I haven’t played a full match in a long time, but it won’t take much to rediscover my form.
“I get on well with Stevan Jovetic and we will make a fine partnership.”
Defender Roncaglia was also present at the Press conference, although fans staged a small protest at the lack of reinforcements.
“Serie A is one of the best Leagues in the world and this club is the place to mature. I am a centre-back, but can also adapt to a wider role.
“In Argentina the Coach also asked me to come forward for set plays. Walter Samuel and Nicolas Burdisso are my idols. Florence is a wonderful city and now the fans will be able to judge me for what I do on the field.”

Juventus legend Alessandro del Piero is still to find a new club.
Del Piero was released by Juve at the end of last season.
“I still don’t know where I will play next season. It certainly won’t be an easy decision after playing at Juventus for 19 years, but I am relaxed,” he said.
“I will begin a new adventure with my new team, always maintaining the pleasure of playing football, just as I did today.”
Del Piero was speaking at a charity match in Japan to raise funds for those affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
“I want to thank those who invited me for giving me the chance to make a small contribution, but it was important to be here not only to support those in the north of Japan, but the entire country that has always shown me great love during my career.
“I want to say thank you and I hope to return soon, as I really like your country.”
