Dries Mertens is keeping his options open after contract negotiations with Napoli stalled.

The 32-year-old will become a free agent on June 30, with Chelsea and Inter Milan interested in acquiring his signature.

The coronavirus pandemic has stopped talks between Mertens and Napoli, and now the Belgium international is waiting to see what happens over the following weeks and months, per Goal.

The financial impact of COVID-19 will impact clubs around Europe, and Chelsea will undoubtedly be in a stronger position to offer Mertens a better deal than Napoli.

Mertens has spent seven years in Naples and feels a strong loyalty to the club.

He has scored 121 goals for Napoli during that time, equalling Marik Hamsik's all-time record.
