Ledesma hasn't made peace

The agent of Lazio midfielder Cristian Ledesma says his client has yet to make peace with Claudio Lotito.

The Argentinian hasn't featured for the Biancocelesti at all this season after an ugly contract dispute.

Ledesma tried to get his existing deal rescinded last month, but the arbitration panel ruled in Lotito's favour.

Lotito is now expected to try and re-integrate Ledesma, but it remains to be seen whether he actually features against Parma on Valentines Day.

Speaking to Tutto Mercato Web, Vincenzo D'Ippolito said: “I don't know. They hadn't made peace up until yesterday. Cristian has a contract until 2011. He has always been very open. Up until now he has remained out of the team. We'll see what happens.

“For us, it's not important that Cristian's contract is renewed. It expires in 2011, so we aren't in a hurry given there are still 18 months to run on it. As has already been said, we will stay in June.”

Asked if he thought Lazio wouldn't be third from bottom with Pandev and Ledesma still in the team, D'Ippolito said: “You never know. Football is strange. I think they would but in reality this is everyone's opinion.”
