Mauro Zarate faces a "war" with Lazio according to the player's agent, who has given the Serie A side five days to lower the attacker's price tag or face the consequences.
The Argentina international's representative Luis Ruzzi believes a January sale for the player will be difficult at this time due to the Biancocelesti's valuation of the forward.
"Our position is clear: either we go to the end of the contract and then evaluate a future move, or the president lowers his expectations so we can consider offers from teams that are on a par with or superior to Lazio," said Ruzzi on Tuttomercatoweb.
