Insigne's contract with Napoli expires at the end of the season, which will leave him as a free agent and he has already agreed to the MLS side on personal terms.


Insigne's high salary is something his current side cannot afford, due to which the Euro 2020 winner will move to another club at the end of the season.



According to SportMediaset reports, Tottenham Hotspur were also keen to sign the forward. Manager Antonia Conte wanted to improve his attacking lineup but the Italian star is very close to announcing his move to the Canadian Club Toronto FC.


The 30-year-old Insigne had an option of resigning for his current club but Napoli couldn't offer what he was expecting and clearly, a 5 year deal with guaranteed $12M per year is a deal every footballer would love to sign at his age. 


SALARY


Toronto FC (offered deal)- Rs 93 Crore ($12.5M) per year, 5 years contract - Rs 448 Crore ($60M)
