Lorenzo Insigne’s return to Serie A is now imminent, and the winger has taken unprecedented steps to ensure the move to Lazio goes through. According to Calciomercato, the former Napoli captain has remarkably spent the last two days sleeping at the Formello training facility as he awaits the final bureaucratic hurdles to be cleared.

The move represents a significant reunion with Maurizio Sarri, who has been the primary driver behind the operation. Sarri’s influence was reportedly decisive, with the coach playing an active role in convincing the player and the club to find an agreement. Insigne’s commitment to the Biancocelesti project has been total; he reportedly rejected several lucrative approaches from other clubs to prioritize a move to the capital.

Perhaps most notably, Insigne was willing to wait for Lazio’s recent transfer ban to be officially lifted before concluding the deal. His presence at the training ground before officially signing his contract highlights a desperate desire to begin working under Sarri immediately. With the technicalities now being finalized, Insigne is expected to sign his contract shortly, marking a high-profile return to Italian football for a player who clearly views Lazio as his sole priority.
