    Pandev: I Want More Or I'm Leaving

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Lazio striker Goran Pandev says he will leave the club next summer unless president Claudio Lotito adjusts his contract.

    On the day of their reunion for the summer training camp, Lazio have been hit by some bad news. Striker Goran Pandev has said that if the club don't accept his contract adjustment requests, he will be leaving Rome next summer, one year before his contract expires.

    "If things stay as they are, next summer I'm leaving Lazio," said the Macedonian star. Pandev has requested to earn the same amount of money as goalscoring partner Tommaso Rocchi, who gets 1 million euros plus bonuses based on performances.

    "[President Claudio] Lotito insists to have my contract extended, but at the same time he won't accept my conditions," Pandev continued. "At the moment I am stuck in my position. My agent is in contact with Lotito all the time. But as things stand now, I'm staying another year and then I'll leave Lazio."

    He also talked about a possible appeal to Fifa's Article 17: "According to the Fifa rules, in a year I can free myself up at low cost. I think the negotiations for my contract will carry on for another 2-3 months. But in this phase of insecurity I cannot buy a new home in Rome, where until now I've been doing great."</div>

    Well I think it is a big ask for Lazio, but they will do the deal to keep him. I would think.

    Yeah hopefully they do.

    In other news, Bayern Munich are looking at signing Valon Behrami. (no reports anywhere, got the news from my country)

    They should pay him. They should be thankful for having a player at his level.

    I wonder what M21 would have to say about this...

    M21 wants him to get paid, whether at Lazio or any other club. [​IMG]


    They really need to keep him, Rocchi as well as Behrami if they want to stay in the top half of Serie A.
