'Insigne worth more than Coutinho'

By Football Italia staff

Napoli star Lorenzo Insigne “is worth far more than Philippe Coutinho,” claims ex-Livorno Coach Fernando Orsi.

There have been suggestions both that Barcelona could go for Insigne if they miss out on Coutinho and that Liverpool will turn to him if the Brazilian does leave.

“Insigne could play in any team. If Coutinho is worth €150m, then Insigne is worth far more,” Orsi told Radio CRC.

Last season, the 26-year-old scored 20 goals with 12 assists in 49 competitive games.

The Partenopei qualified for the Champions League, sweeping Nice aside 4-0 on aggregate in the play-off.

“Napoli need to improve against the smaller sides, the kind of game where a big team has to win ugly, even 1-0. Napoli are fantastic, but they only win if they play great football.”
