Jose Callejon could remain at Napoli after all, with reports of advanced negotiations for a two-year contract extension.

The winger had been on his way out, with lucrative offers on the table from China ready to tempt him away.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the situation has changed following Carlo Ancelotti’s dismissal and the hiring of Gennaro Gattuso.
