Italian left winger Lorenzo Insigne left his childhood club Napoli in the summer of 2022 for MLS club Toronto. Now he wants to return to Europe, but probably not Napoli as he has a somewhat strained relationship with Aurelio De Laurentiis.
Toronto had to dig deep to convince the 33-year-old. – His contract with Napoli expired so the transfer was free, but the salary was huge in the MLS context. Lorenzo Insigne brings in $14 million a year plus bonuses and direct sponsorship deals.
