West Ham United have entered the race to sign Napoli contract rebel Lorenzo Insigne and are willing to boost his wages in an attempt to lure him to the London Stadium, Il Mattino report.
The Italy international is a product of the youth system at the San Paolo club and a fans favourite after showcasing real skill and ability over a number of years in the first team.
However, Insigne is said to be stalling on signing a new contract in Naples, with his agent being vocal that the wages on offer from Maurizio Sarri’s men were not enough for him to put pen to paper.
Napoli are desperate to keep a hold of the diminutive attacking midfielder but may well be tempted to sell him should the star refuse to extend his terms with the Serie A side.
The report suggests that West Ham would offer Insigne basic wages of around €5 million (£4.3 million) per year – which the Italian club would not match.
