Lorenzo Insigne’s adventure on the other side of the pond seems to be coming to an end. According to Italian media, the midfielder is looking for a quick exit from Toronto – hopefully, in January. After a year and a half in MLS, the 32-year-old has not been able to meet all of the expectations placed on him, having played only 31 official matches where glimpses of his quality were few and far between. Toronto have fared better without him.

Insigne signed a contract with the Canadian franchise until June 2026 and was the highest paid player in the MLS until the arrival of the Galácticos at Inter Miami. The Italian is now seeking an exit from the club and began by changing representatives a few days ago. He has signed up with the You First agency based in Spain. As confirmed by AS, the club has plans to include Insigne in next season’s squad and would only consider “looking for a way out for the player if the board says otherwise.” Italian media report strong interest from Roma and Lazio in repatriating him during the January transfer window.
