Dalian Yifang are swooping for Napoli captain Marek Hamsik after two previous failed raids on Serie A, it has been revealed.

Hamsik has agreed terms with Dalian Yifang over a deal worth €9m-a-year, reports Il Mattino.

The Chinese Premier League outfit moved for the midfielder after being turned down by Torino striker Andrea Belotti and Lazio's Ciro Immobile.

Hamsik called Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis over the weekend, urging him to accept Dalian Yifang's offer.

The midfielder also addressed his teammates, declaring: "This is the last game with you. In Italy and Europe I will never be able to play with another shirt."

Napoli could announce Hamsik's departure today.
