The agent of Argentina midfielder Cristian Ledesma has slammed the decision of an arbitration panel not to release his client from his contract with Lazio.

The 27-year-old has not featured for the Biancocelesti this season due to the dispute, but the panel ruled in the club's favour as they had not formally banned Ledesma from training with their first-team squad.

Agent Vincenzo D'Ippolito told Calciomercato.it: "It is a disgrace. The sentence is clear for all to see. The judges evaluated some entirely false 'reintegration' into the squad.

"The truth is that the player was never considered part of the team. Nor did they evaluate the documentation provided by the player.

"We will launch an appeal, but right now there is just immense bitterness and disappointment."
