Stefano Mauri insists he doesn't want to leave Lazio.
"For the past two months my agent has been negotiating a contract extension with President Claudio Lotito.
"I did not inspire and am in no way responsible for the comments made by my father and I distance myself from those statements.
"I extend my apologies to Coach Rossi, his staff, my teammates and the fans who I hope will not hold against me allusions and comments that were not mine."
