Jimenez intends to quit Lazio

Luis Jimenez has declared he's leaving Lazio.

"My new club asked that I drop out of the Copa America so that I can be free to join them in pre-season training and I accepted," said the Chile international.

"The only thing I can confirm right now is that the club I am referring to is certainly not Lazio. Inter? I cannot reveal the name." Although he has pulled out of the Copa America, Jimenez had harsh words for his fellow teammates.

"There are players here in Chile who just want to show themselves off. Those who accuse me of a 'low football standard' are totally misinformed," he told Radio W.

"I was one of the few foreigners to play at Lazio this term and we qualified for the Champions League. In Chile there is too much talk and not enough information."
