The Slovakian international has been liked with a move to China, with Shandong Luneng, Guangzhou R&F as well as Cannavaro’s side.
“We’re talking about a top-class player, so it’s normal that he’s been offered,” the World Cup winner, who is a Neapolitan, told Corriere dello Sport.

“We’re talking about a top-class player, so it’s normal that he’s been offered,” the World Cup winner, who is a Neapolitan, told Corriere dello Sport.
“I’ve spoken with [agent Juraj] Venglos, but there’s also a sentimental-romantic aspect, I’ve spoken about that with my brother Paolo.
“Marek is the Napoli captain, and I won’t be the one to take him away. It’s already happened in the past, we’d never take a Napoli player because we don’t want to be a disturbing force.
“We’re talking about our team, our city.”
