Ledesma Staying In Rome
The Lazio midfielder will remain with the Biancocelesti despite receiving offers from Real Madrid and Juventus.
Ledesma, who has done so well with Lazio this season, will remain with the Biancocelesti next year. This was confirmed by the player's agent, Vincenzo d'Ippolito, who also revealed the names of the teams who wanted him.
"There were various clubs which approached him, amongst which Juventus of Ranieri and Real Madrid of Baldini and Capello. However, Lazio and the player have the firm intention of continuing their rapport.
"In football anything can happen, but surely not this year. The player has wed the Lazio project and last summer he would have stayed even in case of relegation."
D'Ippolito is now hoping that his client will receive an increase in his wages.
"We never asked for it, even though after a season at such levels we should expect it.
"The Lazio politics see performance bonuses and it's clear that an eventual qualification to the Champions League could modify the salary cap."
