Lavezzi agent hits out at Napoli over contract talks

The agent of Ezequiel Lavezzi has hit out at Napoli over their handling of new contract talks.

"I find myself in Madrid. I am here for work, but I don't just have Lavezzi as my client," Alejandro Mazzoni told calciomercato.com.

"I have still not had one signal from Napoli. The club, no, Marino, has carried out a very precise strategy - that of arriving at the end of the season without maintaining the promises made to Lavezzi.

"I don't think that we will here from them. I have never seen anything like this - a club receives an offer for a player and doesn't sit down at the table to discuss it.

"They didn't even ask the player for what he thought about it. I find it incredible. It's been a week now that they haven't responded to calls from Lavezzi," Mazzoni revealed.

"This is the behaviour of Marino. I think that De Laurentiis doesn't really know about everything that has happened.

"He has only been able to hear Marino's version of events, but I think to complete the picture he should hear the other version - that of the player.

"I have confirmed many times that they can own his contract, but not his desires, thoughts and feelings," Mazzoni concluded.
