TORONTO - It appears Toronto FC has succeeded in landing Italian star Lorenzo Insigne.
Reports out of Italy suggest an agreement has been struck between the MLS club and the Napoli forward, with sports TV channel Sportitalia saying an official announcement is expected Saturday.
A source, not authorized to speak on the negotiations, said that was a “likely” timeline. While nothing had been signed yet, talks were in the “final stages,” the source told The Canadian Press.
Canadian taxes, apparently, extended the marathon talks.
Insigne, who turns 31 on June 4, is expected to join Toronto in July when his current contract expires.
