Insigne-Lazio talks paused, ex-Napoli star waits to join Sarri | OneFootball

The Neapolitan playmaker is ready to return to Serie A, but Lotito and Fabiani are carefully considering his age and the management of the over-22 list.

Insigne-Lazio, negotiations on hold: the former Napoli player awaits the green light to reunite with Sarri

Lorenzo Insigne continues to stay in shape while waiting for a call from Formello. The former Napoli captain has already given his consent to move to Lazio, but the Biancocelesti club has not yet formalized the approval for his signing.

The player is training independently, ready to join Maurizio Sarri's group as soon as he receives the green light, with the idea of being officially registered in January, when the market reopens.

Sarri wants Insigne: a return after the Neapolitan three-year period

The Biancocelesti coach aims to bring back to the Capital the left winger who was so impressive at Napoli. The collaboration with Sarri could revive the 34-year-old Neapolitan, who built much of his career and fame with the Campanian club.

"Insigne is a player I know very well, his quality and tactical intelligence can make the difference," would be the coach's thought according to sources close to the club.

Lazio evaluates the operation: age and over-22 list at the center of considerations

Signals of caution are coming from Lotito and sporting director Fabiani. Insigne's age is an element to be carefully considered, as well as the management of available spots in the Serie A over-22 list, which might require adjustments in the squad.

The Biancocelesti club is taking its time, while still showing interest in strengthening the team with a profile of recognized experience and quality.

Next steps

The agreement with Insigne is essentially defined, but the final signature will depend on Lazio's internal evaluations and the availability of space in the squad. The Neapolitan playmaker remains on standby, ready to immediately integrate into the group and put his experience at the team's service.
