Insigne agent admits Napoli contract offer 'unacceptable'

The agent of Napoli captain Lorenzo Insigne says his commitment is the best thing management has going for them in new contract talks.

Vincenzo Pisacane says Napoli's current offer falls well short of their demands.

“An offer has been made that is not considered acceptable, not considered appropriate," Pisacane said. “But it doesn't mean we don't talk to each other anymore.

“Everyone plays their part, there are those who ask questions and those who request. The best thing is to talk to each other.

“I have read several times that Lorenzo has asked for the moon, but no request has ever been made. He feels Napoli as part of him, he perhaps holds Napoli excessively close. I struggle to find a player more attached to the shirt."

Asked about the chances of Insigne staying, Pisacane continued: “I can't give a percentage, I just can't. Marriages are made in two, therefore I think it's right to meet again, to talk about it and see if there's a possibility or not.

“I find it strange that we are in December, it's not too late but if I want something and I want to get it, I start working on it.

“Lorenzo has been a top player in the same team for many years and he always finds incentives to do better. I think it's very difficult to find a symbol like him.

“I think Lorenzo deserved a little more time."
