I think he's mediocre but has a lot to prove still. Last season he was horrible and was non-existant in some games, and I'm not sure how much of a fan favorite he really is, especially after this whole fiasco of him wanting more money... if he wasn't that driven by money you wouldn't have seen so much media on this topic. His mentality should be to have a successful year than give lotito an ultimatum ...

I personally would've kept behrami anyday over this guy.


I agree. Who knows what the story really is, and enough ex-lazio players are bitter towards lotito.

If we can get that much money for him we should look at players like menez, riquelme or aimar again for his replacements all of which have played in europe.

Your right, ledesma wasn't good enough for the argentine team, but aimar and especially star riquelme were. I think its time to bring a big name to Lazio who people are not only familiar with but have proven to be superb  assets to the teams they've played on.

You know the market is about rumours and denial..........so i expect the agent to do that.But lolitto should not be deceived.

Mourinho To Pounce For Ledesma?
Inter may turn their attentions to Lazio midfielder, Cristian Ledesma, as their hunt for a midfielder gathers pace according to Sportmediaset.
 The Nerazzurri are still hunting for a midfielder and with Frank Lampard looking unlikely to join them, Jose Mourinho is searching elsewhere.

Lazio’s Argentine star looks like he will be leaving the club after falling out with them over a contract dispute. Sportmediaset claims that the Nerazzurri are on standby and they could swoop for the player in a €5m deal.

Ledesma is a versatile player and he would offer the ‘Special One’ plenty of cover for the injury-prone Patrick Vieira and Esteban Cambiasso.

It is believed Mourinho is a big fan of the 26-year old. Inter sporting directors Marco Branca and Lele Oriali are ready to fly to Rome and wrap up a deal.

Inter have been linked with Ricardo Quaresma and Tiago but they haven’t really made any progress regarding the Portuguese duo.

Ledesma is looking to cut and run from the Biancocelesti and Inter are likely to welcome him with open arms should he end up running towards the San Siro.

I personally want to see Ledesma stay... we really need some more continuity in our midfield...

Ledesma open to Juve move    
Sunday 17 August, 2008
Cristian Ledesma’s agent has refused to confirm or deny he is awaiting a transfer to Juventus.

“These are decisions that come down to President Claudio Lotito, so I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of negotiations,” said Vincenzo D’Ippolito.

“I have not been informed of anything, so we must await the end of the transfer window before having any clear picture of his future.”

Ledesma has already announced several times that he will walk away from Lazio at the end of the season using FIFA’s Article 17.

He is furious with Lotito for failing to renegotiate his contract and made no secret of his irritation at the way the President is running the club.

If the Argentine midfielder does invoke Article 17, it means he will only be able to join an overseas club for the cut-down price.

With this very tense situation and the possibility of losing him for a minor sum on the horizon, Lazio could be prepared to sell him to Juventus now.

It would not be the first time they have taken such action, as Valon Behrami was in a similar situation when he was released for West Ham United.

Juve, meanwhile, are seeking a more creative figure for their midfield in order to celebrate qualification for the Champions League.

Cristiano Zanetti and Marco Marchionni are both out for a month with muscular injuries.

another Mr.Money. Remember Ledesmar when 1st time here came here.Who is he??? Lotito plz sell him and bring Pinzi comeback,Pinzi or Palombo, i would love to see him to Lazio

i think ledesma is totally worth keeping ..hes been the heart n soul in the midfield for the past years n although he may have had one bad season we cant completely give up on him ..i say we keep him n let him produce this year and support rocchi pandev n zarate 

He cant be heart and soul of Lazio,because he love money than team.
