The experienced midfielder found himself a free agent after concluding his stint in Major League Soccer with Toronto FC.

Interest from Lazio’s Coach

Although Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri, who previously managed Insigne at Napoli, expressed interest in bringing him to the club, the decisions made by Napoli’s management diverged from that route.

Insights from Insigne’s Presentation

During his introduction at Pescara, Insigne shared details of his potential return to Napoli. He stated, “About 20 days ago, I received a call from director Giovanni Manna regarding a possible comeback.”

He continued, “I made it clear I was willing to return, even if it meant playing for free. Ultimately, they opted for different players, and I took it in stride. My loyalty remains with Napoli, and all I wish for is their swift return to the top of the league.”
