Lotito: Napoli, call me about Pandev
Tuesday 16 June, 2009

Lazio President Claudio Lotito has told Napoli to pick up the phone and give him a call if they want Goran Pandev.

The 25-year-old Macedonia international striker is desperate to leave the Biancocelesti, albeit for Champions League football, which Napoli can't offer.

“If Napoli want Pandev they should not do anything other than pick up the phone and call me,” Lotito told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“If the player would like to go to Napoli, the club will put forward the conditions so he is able to do it in the moment in which the Partenopei make an offer compatible with the real value of the player.

“I would like it if my counterparts were to make there interest known to me through a phone call rather than through the newspapers,” he explained.

“The interest of Lazio is to have players, who want to stay. Those that want to leave can do so if the club are paid the market value of the player.”

Lotito then rejected claims he is a miser, unwilling to give his players contract extensions.

“On contrary, Lazio are the club that has spent more than anyone else, parting with £17m for Mauro Zarate,” he concluded.
