Lorenzo Insigne opens up on quitting Napoli for record-breaking MLS deal

Lorenzo Insigne decided to leave boyhood club Napoli and head to Toronto FC in July 2022, and he's since opened up on his experience of trading Serie A for a record-breaking Major League Soccer contract.

The 31-year-old spent his entire career at Napoli, although he enjoyed a handful of loan spells elsewhere in Italy while establishing himself early into his career. But last year, Insigne decided to end the chapter in his native Italy and move abroad to Canada, becoming the face of Toronto FC in MLS after signing an eye-watering $14million deal.

Switching clubs, leagues and cultures is never an easy move for any professional, especially when leaving everything you've ever known. But Insigne has hailed the Toronto fans for welcoming him, and has issued a promise for the upcoming MLS season.
