Transfer News: Dalian Yifang tried to sign Mertens along with Hamsik from Napoli
The Turin-based paper reports that the club wanted to make a double deal with De Laurentiis, guaranteeing Hamsik a three-year contract worth almost 10 million per season and Mertens a contract of the same length with a salary of almost 15 million per year.
The obstacle, however, was the same: the 25 million requested by the Napoli president would not have been paid in cash due to the capital control problems in China.
