Francesco Acerbi blasted Lazio after reports he wanted to double his current salary. ‘If that’s their attitude, a contract renewal is no longer on my mind.’
The 32-year-old defender is under contract until June 2023 and there were reports in the Corriere dello Sport that Acerbi asked for €3.5m per season.
Instead, the Biancocelesti seemingly proposed €1.8m per year plus bonuses.

“I read some things in the newspapers that weren’t true,” Acerbi told RAI Sport while on international duty with Italy.
“It wasn’t true about the figures that were mentioned, both the offers and requests, but also it irritated me that these things were being discussed via the papers and not in the opportune venue.
“I think that I showed the right degree of respect towards the club. I would hope they would therefore talk to me via the right channels and not through the media.
“That annoyed me. If this is their attitude and they continue like this, maybe a contract renewal is no longer what’s on my mind.”
