Mauro Zarate has urged Goran Pandev to stay with Lazio.
"I have spoken with Goran and I asked him to stay because he is a great player. Everyone wants him. For now he has still not replied, so I don't know his decision on the future," Zarate revealed.
Speaking on his return to training, Zarate said he was looking forward to the start of next season.
"As always, I will start again with great spirit. The new trainer, Davide Ballardini, has told us that we have to do well in training camp.
"I am happy for the fans' affection towards me."
