Agent confirms Insigne close to Lazio: ‘Almost there’

Lazio are reportedly close to signing free agent Lorenzo Insigne, his agent says “we’re almost there.” For bettors this could boost Lazio’s attacking outlook — consider markets like Lazio to score over 1.5 goals, Insigne to register a goal/assist early in the season, or improved Lazio outright/over goals props if the deal completes.

Insigne on the Verge of Lazio Move, Agent Confirms

Andrea D’Amico, the agent of Lorenzo Insigne, has indicated that the Italian winger is close to joining Lazio, saying “we’re almost there.” The experienced forward, out of contract since leaving Toronto FC last summer, appears poised for a potential free transfer back to Serie A.

Agent’s Comments and Current Situation

D’Amico stressed that talks are advanced but warned that transfers can be fragile, noting the need to respect clubs during negotiations. He also highlighted that Lazio admire Insigne’s technical profile but face complications linked to a transfer embargo that could block new registrations until resolved.

Past Link with Maurizio Sarri

Insigne previously played under Maurizio Sarri at Napoli, where he flourished — scoring 47 goals in 139 appearances under the manager. Sources indicate Insigne has been keen on a reunion with Sarri and has reportedly turned down other offers to prioritise that possibility.

Transfer Obstacles: Lazio’s Embargo

Lazio’s ability to finalise a deal hinges on lifting a transfer embargo imposed for financial reasons. If the club resolves those issues, the free transfer route would make Insigne a low-risk signing to bolster Lazio’s attacking options and add experience to the squad.

Why Insigne Still Matters at 34

At 34, Insigne may no longer command transfer fees, but his technical quality, set-piece ability and understanding with Sarri’s style could immediately enhance Lazio’s creativity and serve as a mentor to younger attackers — potentially increasing the market value of current squad members.

Betting Implications

If the move completes, punters should reassess markets involving Lazio’s goalscoring and attacking output. Relevant bets to consider include Lazio over 1.5 goals, match goals markets in fixtures with weaker defences, Insigne anytime scorer or goal/assist lines in early-season matches, and Lazio’s season-long scoring or finishing position markets — all contingent on the transfer being finalised.
