How Much Will Lorenzo Insigne Earn in Canadian Club Toronto FC?

Lorenzo Insigne has been in Napoli since 2010. In these 12 long years, he has become a club legend and is usually the first name on the teamsheet. However, his time in Italy is coming to an end now, and he’s still only 30 years old.

The Italian forward has been linked for a move to Canadian MLS club Toronto FC for a few days now. The deal is now very close and the move could happen very soon while we are in the early days of the January transfer window. It is a different setting, as very few footballers move to the MLS at this stage of their career.

Lorenzo Insigne and his move to Toronto FC

According to football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Insigne is going to earn a great amount of money in Canada. The forward is penning a deal that would see him bag a whopping €11m a year, in addition to add-ons going as high as €4.5m.

Romano also revealed that all the parties that are involved in the transfer are now confident in the deal and that final talks are going to take place in Italy in the coming days. The forward has enjoyed a few amazing years with Napoli, but fans of the club won’t see him step on the pitch in their famous blue colours.

Insigne’s exploits in Naples and his entire career

Napoli signed Insigne when he was only 15. Since then, he has been a part of some great Napoli teams who have failed to win anything substantial since 2010. However, his numbers never waned, and the forward scored 89 goals for Napoli in 319 appearances. In addition to his goals, he also has 70 assists to his name.

The forward found more success with the Italian national team where he scored 10 goals in 53 games. However, he did win the UEFA Euros 2021 trophy with the national team and also bagged two goals for his side.

It’ll be interesting to see what he’ll achieve with Toronto FC, as he is still an elite level player and the MLS side will be grateful to have him.
