Lazio sporting director Igli Tare angered by David Silva snub

“I have great respect for the player, but not for the man.”

Lazio sporting director Igli Tare has said he has no respect for David Silva as a man after his decision to snub the club in favour of a move to Real Sociedad.

The Spaniard had been on the verge of a free transfer to Lazio but the Serie A side have been left angered after Silva neglected to tell them he had rejected their contract offer before securing a return to Spain.
