Napoli great Zola: Insigne giving up World Cup dream

Napoli great Gianfranco Zola is surprised by Lorenzo Insigne's decision to leave for Toronto FC.

Off contract in June, Insigne's end of season move to Toronto is expected to be confirmed in the coming days.

Zola told La Stampa: “Difficult to enter into such a personal choice. If you go to the American championship it's not just a question of money.

“There are also life motivations. He has not accepted the offer of another great European, he is going to another type of football.

"And I imagine that it will also have implications for the national team, with the World Cup at the gates."
