Goran Pandev To Sign New Lazio Deal
The Biancocelesti star has promised he will soon commit his future to the club until 2014.
Lazio fans are eagerly waiting for president Claudio Lotito to keep his promise and tie down striking duo Mauro Zarate and Goran Pandev.
The Argentine is expected to sign for the club on a permanent basis by the end of April, and the Macedonian international has been in talks over a new deal in recent weeks because his current contract expires in 2010.
“I am satisfied with the way negotiations are progressing,” Pandev told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I believe that I will pen a new contract until 2014 at the end of the season, most likely in June. The fans and the club truly love me here in Rome.”
The Aquile have been through ups and downs this term but are still within reach of a place in Europe.
“I am quite pleased and I feel we can still qualify for the UEFA cup,” he maintained.
“It’s difficult to do so through the league and that’s why I want to win the Coppa Italia. It is obvious, though, that this has been a see-saw of a season for Lazio and we have not met our targets.”
Lazio defeated Juventus 2-1 in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final and will have to defend their slender lead at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin on April 22.
