In the early morning of December 29, Beijing time, the future of Insigne was finally determined.
According to reports from several Italian media such as the Milan Sports Newspaper, Insigne has agreed to a contract offer from major league team Toronto FC.
After the expiration of his contract with Napoli next summer, Insigne will bid farewell to Serie A, bid farewell to the five major leagues, open the "pension mode" in advance, and go to the big leagues to make a lot of money.
It is understood that Toronto has offered Insigne a five-and-a-half-year contract with an annual salary of 11 million euros and an additional clause of 4.5 million euros per year, linked to personal performance.
Such a contract, for the 30-year-old Insigne, is difficult to resist. So far this season, Insigne has made 18 appearances for Napoli, scoring five goals and providing six assists, and is still in pretty good form.
This summer, Insigne won the European Championship with Italy, and as the team's No. 10, Insigne did a good job of playing the core role.
In fact, in the past two years, Insigne has attracted the attention of many big clubs with his excellent and stable performances, including Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Lazio, and Atletico Madrid.
Among them, several teams, including Paris, also visited Insigne on the spot. Napoli, for its part, naturally do not want to let go of the captain, who is valued at 100 million euros. However, there are considerable differences in the renewal negotiations between the club and Insigne.
Insigne's current contract expires in the summer of 2022 and his current annual salary is €4.5 million. Napoli's contract extension for Insigne is unknown, but the annual salary is only 3.5 million euros.
Napoli hope that Insigne can see the love affair with the club and can renew his contract with a salary cut. In addition, new Champions League giants Newcastle have also launched an offensive, hoping that Insigne can join in free rein next summer, when it will offer a good contract.
In the face of various choices, Insigne is still quick to cut through the mess, although he is still at the peak, as long as he nods, the contract is negotiated, joining a super giant such as Paris or Bayern is not a problem, Insigne can also win the league title, or even the Champions League.
However, all this is not worth mentioning in the face of contracts with a total price of more than 60 million euros and a maximum of 80 million euros!
Hopefully, Insigne can follow in the footsteps of another short-legged tiger, Jovinko, and have a brilliant performance in the American major leagues!
