Serie A side Napoli have confirmed that midfield maestro Marek Hamsik has penned a new four-year deal at the club.
The Slovakia international had attracted interest from a host of top teams across Europe on the back of an impressive domestic season and Euro 2016 campaign.
The Partenopei were understandably eager to tie Hamsik down to a new deal following Gonzalo Higuain’s big money move to Juventus, with the club making the announcement of the 29-year-old’s decision to extend his stay in Naples on Saturday evening.
“SSC Napoli is pleased to announce the contract renewal of Marek Hamsik until 2020,” a statement read on Napoli’s official website.
Hamsik registered 11 assists in Serie A last season, a return bettered only by Paul Pogba and Miralem Pjanic (both 12).
