Napoli and Lorenzo Insigne have not yet found an agreement for the renewal of the contract
“But where do you want me to go?”. The sentence quoted to the prosecutor Vincenzo Pisacanand explains well what is the state of the art of the negotiation (or of the long goodbye) between the Naples And Lorenzo Insigne for the renewal of the contract. Between demand (earning the current wage which is around 5 million) and the offer (3.5 million of fixed base plus a substantial part in bonuses) there is distance but it is not just a question of money. “Of times, of ways, of education, of gestures”, says the agent in the interview with Corriere dello Sport. There is enough to add another piece to the mosaic of the difficult, controversial relationship of hate and love between the club and the player. “Never in 16 years seen such a thing”, he said a few weeks ago. And nothing has changed since then. On the contrary.
“If he wants to go away, we’ll make it right”, is the concept that often the president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, he used when he found himself discussing the renewal application. And the direction taken, net of the fact that the Azzurri will be able to qualify for the Champions League next season, is clear: the possibility of a total of salaries, rejuvenating the squad with new talents who in the future can have a source of vital capital gains for the balance sheet and relaunch towards a new cycle. The Covid emergency, the missed collections, improvised market choices, nefarious results (having closed for 2 years in a row out of the first four places has taken away from Naples the source of precious sustenance of the Cup revenues) have tightened the belt and the range within which the company intends to operate.
Put like this it appears quite clear as for Insigne (but the concept also applies to other players like Mertens) “Time is up”. His agent reiterates that he does not go to war with AdL but clarifies that the wait has lasted long enough. “All calculated, scientific – he says -. In January, when the market opens, a solution will have to be found and everything can change”. The captain is about to expire his contract, from January he will be free to agree with another club, find the accommodation he deems most suitable for himself (even economically, what’s the harm?), Choose the team that offers him the most incentives .

There is no shortage of admirers, both in Italy and abroad. Inter, Juventus and Lazio (where Sarri would meet again) are some of the teams waiting at the window in Serie A. Tottenham (where Paratici is, formerly Juve) is the latest of the clubs that have joined the group from abroad. clubs that could be interested in Insigne, including Toronto which – they say from America – would be willing to go crazy (15 million net shares) to get the 24th in Naples.
Yet in Naples there are those who believe that, in the end, the audience of offers for the player is not so large. “They thought no one could be interested in him and someone said to me: where are you going?”, the words of Pisacane. Yes, but why get to this point, moreover, in the season when you can play the Scudetto and fight for the Champions League?
