Mauro Zarate Was Never Close To Joining Tottenham - Lazio President Claudio Lotito
Claudio Lotito has said Lazio never considered selling Mauro Zarate to Tottenham.
By Salvatore Landolina
On Tuesday reports in England claimed Claudio Lotito was in London dealing with Tottenham for Zarate.
However, Lotito claims that was nothing more than final day transfer market speculation.
"Was Zarate close to Tottenham? I will not speak about this. It would be useless," he told Calcionews24.com.
"Some time ago I said that Lazio would not be selling their champions, and Zarate did not leave.
"I think that our promises were maintained."
