TORONTO, June 28 — Lorenzo Insigne may be viewed as one of Major League Soccer’s most significant signings but the Italy international shrugged off the notion that he was under any pressure when Toronto FC introduced their prize recruit on Monday.
But it is Toronto FC’s ability to secure a talent like Insigne, 31, in his prime that is being recognised as a watershed moment for MLS as it tries to shrug off a reputation as a well-paid final stop for international players in the downside of their careers. If Insigne was feeling any pressure it did not show as the Italian, wearing a crisp white jacket and sparkling diamond ear studs, breezed onto the stage to face the Canadian media for the first time.
“I made the decision not for the money but to find a new life for family and my kids.” Insigne signed with Toronto FC in January and, after seeing out his contract with Napoli, will play his first game with the Canadian club at home on July 9 against the San Jose Earthquakes.
