It's almost sad in a way to see even players like Insigne stuck in their club for an entire career, let alone the likes of Totti. Romance and loyalty are part of it, internal pressure is the other thing. I don't imagine Insigne would ultimately turn down a theoretical move to Real Madrid like Totti did. I bet Totti has regrets.

Maybe. But Totti has still won a scudetto with the club of his dreams and is a world champion with Italy. I imagine that does a lot.

I think he actually has said this. Something like he just regret one thing in his career, that he rejected the offer from RM..
He didn't say he regrets it, he said he would have won the Golden Ball if he went to Madrid.

Even if he said, that he regretted it, he would just be honest. Maybe regrets is a hard word, but I'm pretty sure every player not accepting such an offer will have "what if" thoughts at some point in his later career or life.

I also don't think Insigne will stay at Napoli forever, he's not their captain, 24 is a shitty number, they don't respect his contract demands and he even isn't always undisputed starter, I'd bet that he'll eventually go somewhere else and blame it on the lack of respect from Napoli. Besides he might not be a good enough player to stay at Napoli's level in his last pro years.

I don't think the squad number is much of a factor, he could have chosen any number apart from 10 by now. He chose it: http://www.tuttonapoli.net/zoom/insigne-svela-ecco-perche-ho-scelto-il-numero-24-106841

Also Hamsik deserves to be captain, he's one of their top 5 players in history and also 3rd all-time in appearances.

Anyway, it would be nice if Dybala had as many years here as Insigne will have with Napoli.

Totti never said he regretted it. No doubt that he has had exactly the career he wanted, same for De Rossi.

For me its the opposite of sad, its a beautiful thing. The bandieras of their clubs become legends. Di Natale, Maldini, Del Piero, Zanetti, etc. For an outside like us it may seem strange, but they (the romans) were born and raised and played for their club.

Insigne would probably stay forever if ADL is not an asshole about his contracts. He already said that he is willing to renew for less money than he would get abroad, just to stay at Napoli. BUT! that he most also get a proper raise. I think Insigne only makes just over 1m.

The last 2 seasons Insigne has reached an incredible level and this season he became a leader in the team (just after Hamsik). If Napoli don't pay up he will have plenty of offers abroad.

There's a difference between those three and Totti or Insigne. They won a lot in the end (Zanetti thanks to Farsopoli).
