Napoli have postponed the sale of midfielder Marek Hamsik to Dalian Yifang after failing to agree financial terms with the Chinese Super League side.
Hamsik was expected to leave the club sooner rather than later but the Serie A club have revealed he will remain for the foreseeable future after negotiations over method of payment fell through.
Napoli revealed the news via Twitter, stating: "The Napoli football team has decided to postpone the sale of Marek Hamsik to the Chinese team because the methods of payment of the agreed figure do not coincide with the agreements previously reached #ForzaNapoliSempre.
