Toronto FC is working to part ways with Lorenzo Insigne ahead of the 2025 season, reports Tom Bogert of GIVEMESPORT.

While nothing has been settled, both sides are "motivated to split" before the start of the new campaign.

With the transfer window open in most parts of the world, the Italian forward could make a return to Europe or head elsewhere.

Toronto could choose to use a contract buyout if no move is set, as Insigne's contract runs through the summer of 2026.

He is the second-highest-paid player in MLS, earning $15.4 million annually—second only to Lionel Messi. Remarkably, his salary exceeds the total wage bill of seven other MLS clubs, including rivals CF Montréal.



Insigne's tenure at Toronto FC has been far from ideal, with numerous games missed due to injuries and personal reasons. Adding to the struggles, his performances on the pitch have fallen short of expectations.

The Reds haven't made the playoffs in any of the three seasons he participated in, finishing dead last in 2023.

The 2024 season began on a high note for the Italian, as he delivered clutch goals and helped Toronto get off to a strong start. However, when he suffered another injury, the club’s season took a turn for the worse.
