Insigne has insisted that he sees his future at the club extending beyond his current contract, which expires in 2022. After scoring a 98th-minute match-winning penalty in his side’s 2-1 win over Cagliari, he said: “Renewal? I’m waiting for the president.
“For my part there’s maximum availability. We both want to move forward together. I hope that the signing of the contract will come soon.
“It was important to be clear about going ahead together. There has been misunderstanding but now there is the desire to continue united.”

Success for Insigne and Co
Despite Juventus’ dominance at the top of Serie A, it has been another successful season under new manager Ancelotti.
The experienced boss has guided Napoli to a second-place finish after Insigne’s last minute winner against Cagliari left the club 10 points above third-placed Inter Milan with just three games remaining.
It means Napoli will play in the Champions League for a fourth successive season and represents their seventh qualification for Europe’s primary club competition since 2011.
The next challenge for Insigne, Ancelotti and his squad is how they plan on closing the gap to Juventus who have won eight titles on the bounce.
