​Napoli skipper Marek Hamsik has revealed that he aims to stay loyal to the club claiming that the shirt has almost become like second skin for him. The Slovakian has been a constant presence for the club ever since making his debut for them in 2007 and is considered a club legend by the fans.





The 30-year-old has been linked with a move to a number of top European clubs over the years, however he has always felt comfortable at Napoli and has repeated that he continues to do so.

"476 appearances and 114 goals for Napoli, since 2007 till today? I look back and I'm proud of it. It's not for everyone to be tied to the same team for life, especially in modern football. In my case it was simple: I felt that Naples was the right place for me and I wanted it to become permanent indefinitely", Hamsik said, as quoted by ​calciomercato.





"Regrets? Never , I have no choices to deny. I am making the career I wanted and that I built. Chest out. The blue was the color from Bratislava's Slovan, my first team, of the Slovakian national team and also of Napoli. It was destiny. This shirt has become my second skin, it gratifies me to be considered a flag", he added.
