Toronto FC President Bill Manning, speaking on a video call to discuss Insigne's four-year contract which will begin on July 1, said he expected the signing of the Napoli captain to have a trickle-down effect across MLS.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed but a report on the MLS website said Italian international Insigne, who will be one of the league's most prominent players when he arrives, would earn upwards of $15 million, pre-tax, per season. "You've seen world-class players come here, maybe a bit past their prime. Now you are going to start seeing players coming in their prime," Manning told reporters."The resources in this league are unparalleled across the world in terms of our ownership and for me this was the next step."
