Slovakia star Marek Hamsik has said that his club Napoli cannot win the Italian Serie A title this season. The midfielder is regarded as one of the transfer targets for Manchester United.

The fact that the player once again set to fail in winning the title may actually result in the transfer of the 26-year-old, who had a great first half of the campaign. Hamsik was one of the reasons behind Napoli's imperious form under Rafa Benitez at the start of the season. Like many others to the club, his form has also decreased in recent weeks.

This was allowed Juventus to open a significant advantage in the league table, which Hamsik concedes is the end of the title dreams for his club. Former Manchester city striker Rolando Bianchi scored in the 90th minute to secure a 2-2 draw against Napoli for Bologna. This coupled with Juventus getting a 4-2 win over Sampdoria means that the 12 point advantage will be to hard to recover according to Hamsik. He has said that Napoli should now focus on getting to the second spot in the table, which will be enough to qualify for the Champions League automatically.

The club were also knocked out of the Champions League in the group stages despite securing 12 points from the six matches. They are now taking part in the Europa league.
"Scudetto? Now the gap is pretty big and I think it's too much. We should look at Roma and taking second place, which would allow us to go directly into the Champions League," said Hamsik, whose team take on Chievo in the next match.

This will be home encounter, which Hamsik will be hoping to make use of in order to confirm their push for the top two. They have a slender advantage over the chasing pack that includes Inter Milan.
