Lazio coach Edy Reja admits disappointment missing out on new Juventus signing Jorge Martinez.
Lazio were on the brink of landing the Uruguay winger before being trumped by Juve on Friday.
Reja said: "We thought that we had the player and our President had an agreement with him.
"Then Juve came along and perhaps the lad wanted a more prestigious destination, so that made the difference. It's a shame."
