Lorenzo Insigne, one goal in mind: reunite with Maurizio Sarri | OneFootball

The future of Lorenzo Insigne remains one of the hottest topics in the free agent transfer market. After his experience overseas, the former Napoli captain continues to be courted by several Italian and foreign clubs, but his desire is clear: to wear the Lazio jersey and reunite with Maurizio Sarri, the coach with whom he experienced some of the brightest seasons of his career.

Lorenzo Insigne, one goal: to work with Maurizio Sarri again

As reported by Alfredo Pedullà, Insigne is said to have turned down two more offers in recent weeks, choosing to wait for a concrete signal from the Biancocelesti club.

The rejected offers: Insigne isn’t moving, he only wants Lazio

There is no shortage of teams interested in the Neapolitan forward. In recent weeks, proposals have come in from Serie A and abroad, with offers that could have guaranteed him an immediate return to the pitch. However, Insigne preferred to decline, convinced that his priority remains Rome, specifically Lazio.

“I’ll wait as long as there’s a chance to work with Sarri again,” he is said to have confided to people close to his entourage, highlighting a professional and personal bond with the Tuscan coach that remains very strong.

The bond with Sarri: an understanding born in Naples

Between 2015 and 2018, during Sarri’s three years at Napoli, Insigne experienced exponential growth: 49 goals, over 40 assists, and a spectacular style of football that earned him the label of “the quintessential Sarri player.” Under the guidance of the Tuscan coach, number 24 became the symbol of a brilliant Napoli, capable of challenging Juventus for the Scudetto and enchanting Europe with their collective and attacking play.

It’s no surprise, then, that after the end of his MLS adventure, the Neapolitan playmaker wishes to close the circle precisely with the coach who made him great.

The conditions for the deal: Lazio reflects

At the moment, Lazio has yet to make a decisive move. The operation depends on several factors:

the contractual situation of some of the current attacking wingers in the squad;

the club’s economic strategies, as they must assess the sustainability of a contract for an experienced player with a high salary;

and, of course, Sarri’s will, who has never hidden his admiration for Insigne.

The Tuscan coach, questioned in recent weeks, reiterated: “There’s a special bond with Lorenzo. He’s a player who knows what I want and how I see football.”

Insigne waits, but time is running out

At 34, Insigne does not want to make the wrong choice for the last big move of his career. Lazio remains the only truly desired destination and, at least for now, he will continue to reject all other offers.

If the Biancocelesti’s interest materializes in the coming weeks, the return of the Neapolitan playmaker to Serie A would become one of the most intriguing moves of the autumn transfer window.
