Ciro Immobile cannot rule out Lazio exit; admits SPL offers

Ciro Immobile cannot rule out leaving Lazio.

The striker confirmed he had offers from the Saudi Pro League over the summer.

He told Il Messaggero: "At the moment I say yes and no. I don't want to answer quickly, I've been thinking about it for a while with my family. In the meantime I have to get back into shape and on the pitch at my best.

"Once I've managed to do that, I'll be able to really decide. Now I would say no because I'm in a negative period and I'm injured, but if I had scored 20 goals I'd say yes. So my decision shouldn't be dictated by the moment.

"Surely if before I was completely convinced of staying for life, now I'm a little less so I'm a little hurt."

Immobile added: "Saudi Arabia is a solution that I considered this summer when some offers arrived, but then I decided to reject it for the national team and the Champions League."
