Marek Hamsik Leaves Napoli for Chinese Super League Club Dalian Yifang FC

Marek Hamsik's move to Chinese club Dalian Yifang was confirmed on Thursday, bringing an end to his 12-year spell with Serie A side Napoli.

Partenopei president Aurelio De Laurentiis (h/t sports writer Jack Rathborn) announced the news via Twitter:

In the 31-year-old's time in Naples, he became the club's all-time top scorer and appearance leader.

He was linked with a switch to China in the last month, but issues with the payment saw the proposed move suspended:

The club has decided to suspend Marek Hamsik's move to China because the payment methods proposed for the agreed sum fail to adhere to what was previously agreed.
