Agent: 'Marek Hamsik will stay at Napoli'

Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik will not leave the Italian club this summer, according to his agent.

The 25-year-old Slovakia international has been linked with a move away from Naples throughout the summer.

"Hamsik is excited to play for Napoli and be a talisman of the group," Juraj Venglos told Radio Crc.

"For several years, Marek has been here and he is happy because he has gained a lot of experience.

"This year, Napoli are stronger. The club have signed reinforcements since the departure of [Ezequiel] Lavezzi and [Walter] Gargano. They will fight for the Scudetto this year."

Hamsik joined Napoli from Brescia in 2007.
