<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto FC</a> ended their 2024 Major League Soccer season away from the positive talks surrounding the league. Stars Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne have produced one disappointing season after another, with more drama off the field than on. This season, under new manager John Herdman—whose reputation has been tarnished by the “spy gate” controversy while he was coaching Canada—the results remained virtually the same: 11-19-4 for the year, producing a mere 40 goals in total for the season.



It did not help that Federico Bernardeschi and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lorenzo-insigne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lorenzo Insigne</a> posted mundane stats, especially considering they are among the highest-paid players in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a>. Insigne scored only 4 goals in league play, while Bernardeschi had 8.



Insigne, who has serious doubts about his future at the club, is signed until 2026, as is Bernardeschi. The former Juventus star took to Instagram to share his thoughts on what was yet another disappointing season for TFC.



<h2>Federico Bernardeschi’s Open Letter to TFC Fans</h2>



Federico Bernardeschi took to Instagram to pen a letter for fans: “I was sure we were gonna make it this year, but I was wrong. All the hard work wasn’t enough. I can’t say I’m happy or satisfied. I assure you, from the moment I set foot in this amazing city, which now feels like home, my goal has always been, and always will be, to win.



“I was raised with a fighter’s mindset, and winning has always been important to me. For myself and for you. In life, just like in sports, you can’t always win, but losses teach you and help you grow way more than victories do.

“A professional has to always give it their all, day in and day out, to repay the love and support they receive, with dedication, sacrifice, and effort in both the big and small things. I’ve worked hard, and I’m gonna work even harder from now on.



“I wanna thank you all for the constant support, the dedication, and the recognition. It’s no small thing; it’s the main drive behind my goals. I remember every banner, message, and well-wish. I love this city, and I owe it to you all for giving me so much.



“I really care… and I know… YOU really care!”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/mls-2024-salaries-25-of-the-best-players-and-what-they-earn"></div>


Since his arrival in MLS, Federico Bernardeschi has scored 21 goals with 15 assists in a total of 73 league matches for the club. The Italian has yet to win any silverware with the team.

Former ESPN analyst and USMNT striker Taylor Twellman, known for his unconventional style, aimed to inject some levity into Apple TV’s typically formal <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a> coverage. He adopted a page from “Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis,” posing quirky questions to some of MLS’s prominent figures.



The first of these clips featured Toronto FC star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lorenzo-insigne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lorenzo Insigne</a>, where Twellman asked the former Napoli striker whether he would prefer a seven-day cruise with Bob Bradley, whom Insigne reportedly clashed with, or teammate Federico Bernardeschi, with whom Insigne had issues.



The questions elicited laughter from the forward. Twellman then engaged in a similar exchange with Inter Miami’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/benjamin-cremaschi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benjamin Cremaschi</a>, who also responded with humor.



<h2>Benjamin Cremaschi on how Inter Miami will win MLS Cup</h2>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/david-beckhams-birthday-gift-for-lionel-messi"></div>


During their chat, Twellman inquired about Lionel Messi’s coffee preferences. Cremaschi humorously replied, “I don’t think Messi drinks coffee, he drinks mate.”

Benjamin Cremaschi on if Lionel Messi drinks coffee and Inter Miami’s MLS Cup chances

Benjamin Cremaschi reveals how Inter Miami will win MLS Cup

It has been a horrific season for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto FC</a> in Major League Soccer, the club had high expectations as they entered the season as one of the highest spending teams in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLS</a>. Their two biggest stars Italians <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lorenzo-insigne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lorenzo Insigne</a> and Federico Bernardeschi were supposed to take the league by storm under the watchful eye of Bob Bradley, a proven winner in MLS and US Soccer circles.



None of that happened, and misreporting of a rift between two of the highest paid DPs in MLS was just one of many issues surrounding the club. TFC has been dreadful for most of the season and the firing of Bob Bradley has done little to help a team at a tipping point. Rumors around the future of the disgruntled Italian stars have been present since the summer, but on huge contracts many teams will balk on trying to sign them.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230517#BUS#1719"></div>


On Saturday evening while watching his team lose yet another match Lorenzo Insigne, who is recovering from injury, got into a verbal altercation with a fan, so much so that he had to be pulled away from continuing to argue. The former Napoli star spoke to Sportsnet on Monday and said his piece on the matter.



<h2>Lorenzo Insigne on fan altercation</h2>



Insigne told Sportsnet, “I knew that was irresponsible and I shouldn’t have behaved that way,” he said. “But while I was sitting there taking these insults, my family was there, my kids were there. They were crying. They thought something was going to happen to me and I kind of reacted as a father, not as a player.



“I’m a professional. I know these things should not happen. And I apologize again to all the fans of Toronto. And this won’t happen again.”



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



The Italian star’s season like his team’s has been forgettable at only 4 goals in 19 games, add to it that he has also been injured the season has been a disaster. Since coming to MLS, Insigne has scored a total of 10 goals in 30 MLS games.

To say that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lorenzo-insigne" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lorenzo Insigne</a> may be the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-15-worst-signings-in-mls-history-20201229-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">biggest flop in MLS history</a> is an understatement. The Italian is one of the league’s highest paid players and has produced a meager 10 goals in 29 matches. This season Lorenzo Insigne’s numbers are 3 goals in 16 games.



It cannot all be placed on the 32-year-old Italian, in soccer terms, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-fc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto FC</a> is an utter mess. A team so disbalanced the club has not qualified to the playoffs in the last two seasons and are well on track on missing out on the postseason for a third straight year. Shocking considering up until the arrival of Lionel Messi to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inter Miami</a>, TFC is one the league’s biggest spenders, the problem is most of that salary cap is on two unhappy players Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230830#BUS#54516"></div>


According to NYCFC Source, the former Napoli star is searching for a way out of MLS and has a potential offer from Saudi Arabia on the table.



<h2>Lorenzo Insigne back to Europe?</h2>



While Lorenzo Insigne does have an offer from an unnamed Saudi club, it is reported that Insigne wants a return to Europe. According to NYCFC source, TFC knows that their star player is heading for the door and want just $7.5 million for him, his personal terms will be an issue, Insigne earns close to $7.5 million in salary, a price tag few European teams will be willing to match.



At this point if the Italian were to leave it would be for a huge pay cut, even half his current wages but given how unhappy the player is in Toronto it seems likely.



<h2>What will happen with Federico Bernardeschi?</h2>



The other unhappy Italian is Federico Bernardeschi, who was benched by Bob Bradley earlier in the year, and despite the former USMNT coach’s firing, still is keen on leaving the club. Reports of a summer loan to Bologna have cooled down, but according to sources Bernardeschi is still pushing to leave.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230517#BUS#1719"></div>


Bernardeschi earns over $6 million in salary and is in the same boat as his Italian counterpart in that in order to return to Europe, he would need to take a massive pay cut.

According to Nicolo Schira, Insigne has changed agent and is now a part of the Stellar Group. The player is not happy at TFC and is looking to a move away from MLS.



Insigne at the moment is the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-2023-salaries-top-25-highest-paid-players-20230517-BUS-1719.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">league’s highest paid player</a>, with a reported official income as per the MLSPU of $7.5 million, but it is reported that he earns as high as $14 million with bonuses.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230519#BUS#2361"></div>


Taylor Twellman also reported that the player has been holding talks with an unnamed Saudi club for the last 2-3 weeks.



<h2>Lorenzo Insigne and Toronto FC have flopped in MLS</h2>



The Italian came to MLS with a lot of hype, coming off of a fantastic season with Napoli. Lorenzo Insigne has praised the level of MLS, but things at Toronto FC have not gone well at all.



A reported rift with former manager Bob Bradley, who was eventually fired, has been one of the causes, and the disorder of the project another focal point.



Toronto sits next to last in the MLS East, only outdone by Inter Miami who is in last place. Under Bradley the team was mediocre at best, and Lorenzo Insigne’s numbers so far are 10 goals, 4 assists in 27 league matches.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20201229#CMS#7"></div>


Effort has never been a question, rather the team around the Italian, who looks ready to try something new following what can only be described as one of the biggest flop signings in MLS history.

2022 MLS All-Star Game: Why is Lorenzo Insigne not playing against the Liga MX team?

2022 MLS All-Star Game: Why is Lorenzo Insigne not playing against the Liga MX team? - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Chelsea-Arsenal-and-More-Breaking-Down-FC-Series-the-Preseason-Festival-of-Football-20220711-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Soccer (MLS)</a> and Liga MX have built an special and very strong relationship in recent years. Both championships are trying to increase North America’s soccer level and the All-Star game between both is one step forward to complete this objective. Now, the first one released its roster for the match, but without the presence of superstars like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lorenzo-insigne-is-mls-highest-paid-player-and-makes-14m-more-than-gareth-bale-20220628-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gareth Bale, Lorenzo Insigne, Giorgio Chiellini or Xherdan Shaqiri</a>.
This 2022, MLS went to Europe to sign the biggest stars available and include them in their teams. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/when-will-gareth-bale-make-his-lafc-debut-in-mls-20220703-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gareth Bale</a> left Real Madrid to join LAFC alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lafc-star-giorgio-chiellini-backs-the-idea-of-usmnts-christian-pulisic-going-to-juventus--20220708-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Giorgio Chiellini</a>. Lorenzo Insigne had a very emotional goodbye from Napoli to travel to Canada and sign with Toronto FC. And in Chicago they looked for another top player and found Xherdan Shaqiri as the best one to improve their offensive game.
As for Liga MX, they could also present a huge roster for the game to be played next August 10. André-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin are the pilars of Tigres; Pumas signed Gustavo del Prete, Eduardo Salvio and are waiting for a response from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-liga-mx-club-eyes-dani-alves-who-ran-out-of-contract-at-barcelona-20220706-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dani Alves</a>; and Jonathan Rodríguez went back to Mexico to play for America. It will be a match with very interesting names and one where the fans will enjoy every second of it.
<h2>Why Gareth Bale, Lorenzo Insigne, Giorgio Chiellini and Xherdan Shaqiri will not play the MLS All-Star game vs Liga MX?</h2>
The Major League Soccer made a ballot for people to select the best players for the MLS All-Star game vs Liga MX, where neither <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/top-17-players-from-europe-in-mls-history-20220628-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gareth Bale, Lorenzo Insigne</a>, Giorgio Chiellini, nor Xherdan Shaqiri were in it. As they are newcomers to the competition and even some of them have not made their debut, they will have to wait for another year to be availablefor the match.
It was intended that Lorenzo Insigne had his first minutes with Toronto FC in the begginings of July, but an injury kept him away from the matches. As for Gareth Bale and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-when-will-giorgo-chiellini-make-his-lafc-debut-20220707-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Giorgio Chiellini</a>, they could not appear with LAFC in the duel against LA Galaxy for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lafc-vs-la-galaxy-why-is-the-los-angeles-derby-called-el-trafico-20220707-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘El Tráfico’</a> as both were not in the best physical conditions to have some minutes.
<h2>Which is the 2022 MLS All-Star Team Roster for the game against Liga MX?</h2>
A total of 26 participants were selected by the fans, media and current MLS players. US men’s national team members such as Walker Zimmerman and Jesus Ferreira were called alongside other international stars such as Chicharito Hernandez, Carlos Vela or Taty Castellanos.

Neither Gareth Bale nor Lorenzo Insigne: The 2022 MLS All-Star Team Roster to face Liga MX

Neither Gareth Bale nor Lorenzo Insigne: The 2022 MLS All-Star Team Roster to face Liga MX - Bolavip US

After waiting more than six months <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-most-popular-mls-teams-ranked-by-social-media-followers-20200827-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toronto FC</a> have their man as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/toronto-fc-new-signing-lorenzo-insigne-and-other-players-that-have-moved-to-mls-from-Italian-serie-a-20220108-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lorenzo Insigne</a> is officially at BMO Field. Yesterday the 31-year-old Italian national team player took questions from the press and revealed his desire to make a big splash in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-salaries-2022-who-are-the-25-highest-paid-players-20220517-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a>.
For Toronto FC it was the culmination of a process which began at the end of last season and “kicked off” with a pre-contract signed in January. “We have a lot of ambition at our club and we’re really looking over these next four or five years for Lorenzo to be a foundational piece” Toronto FC president Bill Manning stated.
Lorenzo Insigne not only is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/usmnt-mls-players-what-are-their-salaries-20220519-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS highest paid</a> player but could unofficially have signed the biggest contract in league history. Here is where Lorenzo Insigne stacks up with the other big contracts in MLS.
<h2>Lorenzo Insigne MLS highest paid player</h2>
While MLS contracts are a “work of art” so to speak, with compensation coming in from other areas besides base salaries, Lorenzo Insigne signed a four-year deal worth a reported $15 million a season. When compared to what Gareth Bale is reported to be earning on his player’s contract it is nearly $14 million more, as Bale is set to earn below $1.6 million on his 1-year deal with LAFC.
Xherdan Shaqiri, who plays for the bewildered Chicago Fire is at $8.1 million, Javier Hernández who plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy is at $6 million, and Gonzalo Higuaín who has largely disappointed at Inter Miami is at $5.8 million.

The Italian forward has signed a four-year contract and will receive the highest pay of his career so far according to MLS official website: $15 million yearly (before taxes).
Despite former Italian Toronto player Sebastian Giovinco, about the disadvantages for a European player to come to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-most-popular-mls-teams-ranked-by-social-media-followers-20200827-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a>,Lolowill leave Serie A to start the first soccer adventure outside his country. Previously, he has just worn Cavese, Foggia, Pescara, and his current team <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-manchester-united-dismissed-chance-to-sign-napoli-star-valued-at-40m-20210916-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Napoli</a> colors.

The 30-year old is just 5,4 tall but he is a skillful and creative forward that usually plays as a winger with constant moves to the center. He has 416 appearances with Napoli and has scored 114 goals so far. Definitely, one of I Partenopei stars and most talented players of Serie A.
<h2>Lorenzo Insigne and the rest of the biggest arrivals from Italian Serie A to MLS</h2>
Roberto Donadoni. A very talented midfield that was a vital member of Arrigo Sacchi and Carlo Ancelloti‘shistoric AC Milan in the late ’80s and early ’90s. He has won 3 Champions League and 5 Serie A titles before joining New York Metro Stars in 1996 to be part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/greatest-european-players-to-play-in-mls-20211228-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> birth. With the new Red Bulls, Donadoni scored just 6 goals in 49 games played.

Marco Di Vaio. A name not as big as Donadoni or Insigne but with a good history in the MLS. Directly from Bologna FC, Di Vaio was signed by Montreal Impact, now CF Montreal, in 2012 and become the first Designated Player of the Canadian franchise. He helped his team to win 2 Canadian Championships and, in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/could-gianluigi-buffon-end-his-career-on-the-mls-20211221-0034.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS’s fields</a>, he achieved 77 appearances and 34 goals.
Sebastian Giovinco. The Atomic Ant is considered a true legend for Toronto FC. Lorenzo Insigne has a hard challenge ahead if he wants to surpass Giovinco’s legacy. Coming from mighty Juventus, the 5.3 tall player was a key part to winning the only <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-cup-winners-list-by-year-20211210-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS Cup</a> ofthe Redsso far.

Toronto FC's new signing Lorenzo Insigne and other players that have moved to MLS from Italian Serie A

Toronto FC's new signing Lorenzo Insigne and other players that have moved to MLS from Italian Serie A - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/greatest-european-players-to-play-in-mls-20211228-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> is no longer shy about spending the big bucks on talented and name players in their prime. In this case <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-jozy-altidore-could-have-his-contract-bought-out-or-traded-20211124-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Toronto FC</a> is looking to get back to their winning ways and have set their sights on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-manchester-united-dismissed-chance-to-sign-napoli-star-valued-at-40m-20210916-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Napoli</a> forward Lorenzo Insigne.
Insigne is on the Italian national team and was a part of Italy’s Euro 2020 championship squad. Fabrizio Romano has been reporting that Toronto is “more than serious” about signing the striker, who has over 80 goals in over 300 games at the club made famous by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-rollercoaster-career-of-diego-maradona-20201030-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diego Maradona</a>.
Still questions about whether Insigne’s place on the Italian national team would be in jeopardy if he makes the move to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-15-worst-signings-in-mls-history-20201229-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> are still up in the air. At the moment MLS writer Michael Singh is reporting that Insigne and TFC have agreed to terms, and he would arrive in the Summer. Here is the rundown of Lorenzo Insigne’s contract at TFC.
<h2>Lorenzo Insigne’s contract in MLS</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211228_BUS_181481_lorenzo_insigne_of_ssc_napoli_crop1640719053015.jpg_22069893_1eedf08f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption> Lorenzo Insigne of SSC Napoli (Photo by Matteo Ciambelli/DeFodi Images via Getty Images) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
According to Fabrizio Romano the deal would be five and half years, 11-million-euro salary per season, €4.5 million for personal goals/targets. It would make the Italian the highest paid player in MLS next season.
Toronto FC has experience with Italian strikers as Sebastian Giovinco played for the club back in 2015, the little forward was a goal machine, 68 goals in 114 games winning 1 MLS Cup, 1 Supporters Shields, and 3 Canadian championships. Unfortunately, Giovinco’s great form in MLS only saw him see bench warming or sub minutes on the Italian national team. You have to go back to 1996 with MetroStars midfielder Roberto Donadoni playing substantial minutes for Italy while playing for an MLS side.

UPDATE:According to Fabrizio RomanoLorenzo Insigne would arrive to Toronto FC in July after the end of the Serie A season.

MLS Transfer Rumors: Lorenzo Insigne’s contract if he signs with Toronto FC - Bolavip US

Following <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-top-10-most-expensive-offseason-transfers-in-europe--20210831-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many headline-making signings</a>, the summer transfer window <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/griezmann-saul-and-the-most-interesting-last-minute-summer-transfer-signings-in-europe-20210901-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">came to an end</a>. But that wouldn’t prevent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/inter-t127" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inter Milan</a> from planning their next moves in the future, as they are reportedly thinking about a plan to land a Napoli star whose deal expires at the end of the 2021-2022 season.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/romelu-lukaku-t126046" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romelu Lukaku</a>‘s return to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a> meant a huge blow to the Nerazzurri, who lost firepower up front. But they moved fast to replace him,landing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/roma-t11946" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AS Roma</a>‘sEdin Dzeko as well as Lazio‘s Joaquin Correa.
However, throughout the summer Inter were heavily linked with a move for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Serie A</a>rivals’player that seems to be their priority target for next season. Although they failed to sign him this year, they would be already preparing how to approach him in January.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-68"> </div>

<h2>Inter Milan don’t give up on Napoli star, prepare lucrative contract to sign him for free</h2>
Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport reported that Inter Milan are already thinking about closing in on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lorenzo-insigne-t184033" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lorenzo Insigne</a> in the winter transfer window, where he could negotiate for a pre-contract agreement.
<div style="text-align:center">

</div>
Interwould hopethat Insigne hasn’t agreed to a new deal by then, enabling him to discuss with other clubs for a free move in June 2022. The Nerazzurris would be willing to offer him a four-year deal worth€31 million.
The contract would consist of a €6 million salary per season plus a €7 million signing bonus. Insigne, 30, is a Napoli product and has only left them a few times on loan. Will this season be his last one at the club where he rose to stardom?

Report: Inter Milan target Napoli star for a free transfer with €6 million salary per season

Report: Inter Milan target Napoli star for a free transfer with €6 million salary per season - Bolavip US

After a great <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/euro-2020-t174831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Euro 2020</a>, there’s no doubt that Lorenzo Insigne is one of the most pretended forwards in Europe right now. The 30-year old has another year of contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/napoli-t111111" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Napoli</a> but it appears that many clubs have shown interest in him.
At the beginning of July, it was reported that two European giants, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/transfer-rumors-lorenzo-insigne-napoli-drawing-interest-barcelona-tottenham-20210706-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona and Tottenham</a>, were considering making an offer for Insigne, who was one of the stars of Italy this summer. The forward made six appearances for his national team, scoring twice on their way to the tournament victory.
But now, according to new reports, he is on the radar of other two <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Serie A</a> clubs. It seems like the negotiations to renew his contract with Napoli haven’t been very productive lately, so it seems plausible that Insigne is considering a move.

<h2>Transfer rumors: Inter and Milan are interested in Lorenzo Insigne</h2>
According to ESPN, citing Calciomercato, both AC Milan and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/inter-t127" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internazionale</a> want to negotiate with Lorenzo Insigne. The reports also state that the winger is considering leaving Napoli to pursue a different challenge.
Also, it seems like Insigne and his representatives don’t agree with Napoli’s offer of 4.5 million euros a year to renew his contract, as their aspirations are 6 million euros per year. However, maybe another team could agree to their expectations.
The reports also say that Internazionali are considering making an offer in this window of less than 20 million euros, but according to transfermarket.com, Insigne’s market value is 48 million euros. On the other hand, AC Milan could wait until Insigne becomes a free agent next season.

Transfer Rumors: Two Serie A clubs are interested in Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne

Transfer Rumors: Two Serie A clubs are interested in Napoli's Lorenzo Insigne - Bolavip US

With most of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/euro-2020-knockout-stage-schedule-bracket-format-teams-and-dates-20210624-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Euro 2020</a> already in the history books, we can all agree that Roberto Mancini’s<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/euro-2020-t174831" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Italy</a><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/euro-2020-t174831" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a>has been a treat to watch. Unsurprisingly, a lot of credit should go to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/napoli-t111111" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Napoli</a> star Lorenzo Insigne.
Insigne has flown under the radar for quite some time now but he’s been one of the best players in Serie A for years. Now, his good recent performances may grant him the recognition he’s been due.
According to recent reports, several big clubs – including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> and Tottenham – are keeping tabs on the Italian playmaker, as he only has one year left in his contract and could force his way out of the club.
<h2>Transfer Rumors: Barcelona, Tottenham Interested In Napoli’s Lorenzo Insigne</h2>
“Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis faces a battle to keep hold of Euro 2020 star Lorenzo Insigne, with Barcelona and Tottenham circling as a contract stand-off looms.Insigne has been a key cog in Roberto Mancini’s Azzurri machine this summer, scoring the crucial goal against Belgium to setup a semi-final spot for Italy,” Reported the Daily Mail.
“The Napoli skipper has spent his entire career with the iconic club, but with only a year left on his deal, the winger reportedly desires an improvement on his £4.3m-a-year deal in exchange for his long-term future,” concluded the report.
<h2>Tottenham</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210706_BUS_172737_lorenzoinsigne.jpg_22993414_5854b6f0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Lorenzo Insigne. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
With Nuno Espirito Santo taking the reins of the Spurs, we can expect Tottenham to be more of an offensive-minded team next season. Also, Gareth Bale will head back to Real Madrid and Harry Kane is expected to play somewhere else.
Insigne’s mobility, ability to play on both flanks or right behind the striker, and long-range shooting skills make him a tailor-made player for the English Premier League and Nuno’s system.
<h2>Barcelona</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210706_BUS_172737_lorenzo_insigne.jpg_22993414_2af74ab1.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Lorenzo Insigne. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
As for Barcelona, it’s not a secret that most players dream of wearing the Blaugrana shirt and don’t hesitate when they or Real Madrid express their interest in them, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see Insigne lured away to Camp Nou.
Even though the Catalans are already stacked upfront – especially after the addition of Memphis Depay – Insigne would be a massive boost for their offense and a perfect complement next to Lionel Messi.
