Lorenzo Insigne is likely to join Toronto FC as a free agent and there have been plenty of reactions on social media to comment on the Italy international’s choice.
According to SportMediaset, the 30-year-old has already decided to move to Canada at the end of the season.
His current deal with Napoli expires in June and the Partenopei have not improved their contract extension offer, which is still around €3.5m-a-year, less than Insigne’s current €5m-a-year salary.
On the other hand, Toronto FC have offered him a contract above €9m per season. According to Sky Sport Italia, the offer on the table is €11.5m plus €4.5m add-ons.
Former Toronto FC star Sebastian Giovinco has warned his compatriot that he will fall off the radar in the MLS, even if a spell in Toronto is something that he would ‘suggest to everyone.’
Social media users have been commenting massively on Insigne’s likely decision to leave Napoli to move to Canada, where he would begin a new chapter of his career. Most Napoli supporters are not impressed by his choice, while those of Toronto FC seem to be beyond excited.
