The agent of Marek Hamsik says he's happy for Dries Mertens after the striker broke his Napoli goals record.

Mertens' goal on Saturday sent Napoli into the Coppa Italia final. It was his 122nd for the club - making him their all-time leading goalscorer.

"Dries and Marek are close friends," agent Juri Venglos told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“I know for sure that Marek's very happy with the path Mertens has taken and the record he's broken.

“Either way, Hamsik's second in this special ranking and he's obviously happy. Hamsik will watch the Final between Napoli and Juventus on Wednesday.

“He'll cheer for Napoli, there's no doubt about it. Among other things, it's a game that he played in Rome against Juventus himself, lifting the Coppa Italia to the heavens.

“Marek wants to play for a few more years, probably two or three. In my opinion, he could return to Slovakia once he retires, just as he could return to Napoli because Naples is also his home."

Hamsik now plays in China for Dalian Yifang.
