Lorenzo Insigne's agent reveals 'three top clubs' are after him, but 'he wants to be the Totti of Napoli'.
The little striker of the Partenopei is one of Serie A's revelations, with 11 goals and 10 assists in the season so far.
“Sarri found the football identity that is most appropriate to Insigne and drew out his skills,” agent Fabio Andreotti told Radio Crc. “If he scored more goals this year, that's thanks to the Coach.

The little striker of the Partenopei is one of Serie A's revelations, with 11 goals and 10 assists in the season so far.
“Sarri found the football identity that is most appropriate to Insigne and drew out his skills,” agent Fabio Andreotti told Radio Crc. “If he scored more goals this year, that's thanks to the Coach.
“Yesterday we were at Castel Volturno and we were immediately linked to Lorenzo's contract renewal. There are important clubs reaching out to him, but yesterday we didn't discuss his situation with Napoli.
“He has a talented brother called Roberto, and that's what we discussed with the club.
“At the moment we still haven't discussed Lorenzo's renewal, we'll touch on that subject after May 15, when the championship is over.
“We'll have a meeting with Napoli to understand if Insigne will continue his experience with the Azzurri or elsewhere.
“The club's desire and that of the player is that of finding an agreement and continuing together, but there are no absolute terms in football.
“Every agent has an obligation to look out of the window for new offers, so we're listening to everyone, out of respect.
“But we'd like Napoli to set up an important project and turn Insigne into the [Francesco] Totti of Napoli.
“There are three clubs among Europe's top ten that have their eyes on Insigne. We spoke with them and they want to set up some meetings, but Insigne is so focused on Napoli that he doesn't even want to know their names.
“They are just probing for the moment, because I expect Insigne's experience with Napoli to continue in the summer.”
The 24-year-old famously had a disagreement with Italy Coach Antonio Conte, when he failed to respond to a call-up due to an alleged injury in training.
“There's been no contact [between Conte and the player]. Lorenzo is calm and I'm convinced that Conte is too. It was just a misunderstanding and it will be resolved with a banal chat.
“Insigne, for his own part, was perfectly clear. He trained with the national team, then he patently had trouble with his knee and the decision was calmly made to bring the player home.”
