Lazio have rejected the rumours of a move for Manchester United forward Robin van Persie, saying that the player is "outside of their parameters". The Dutch striker was seen in Rome this week and that led to speculation regarding a move to Lazio. He is still under contract with Manchester United for another season.
Lazio sporting director Igli Tare said: "On Van Persie, all I can say is that I respect him as a striker but unfortunately, he is outside our parameters. There has never been a meeting, this is gossip, not transfer news. We don't want to create illusions, this is not true."
Van Persie moved to Old Trafford from Arsenal in 2012 and bagged 26 goals in 38 Premier League appearances in his first season with the Red Devils. The following two seasons were disappointing though, he scored just 12 league goals in 2013-2014 and only 10 this season. Lazio should be an interesting target for high-profile players this summer as they qualified for the Champions League after finishing third in the Serie A this season.
Lazio are 101.00 at Bet365 to win the Champions League next season.

I agree with Johnajax.Van Persie still can play in team with highest ambitions,when he is healthy,he is one of the top 5 goalscorers in Europe,there is no doubt about that.It is also good to see that Lazio is having big ambitions this season,it looks like they will make very respectable team for next season.

It wasn't real from the start to see Robin Van Persie in the Lazio and now they confirmed that this is a lie but I think that Persie should look for team where he will play because he is one of the best striker in Europe and he can be very very important for every team and I am sure that a lot of teams will be thrilled...

After that "deal" failure it will be very interesting what the future of Van Persie will be. Will he stay at Man United or not? I guess that if there's appears a serious buyer with solid bid for him, Van Gaal will be willing to let him go, but I'm sure that if he stays, will be an important player for United, He is a kind...

Robin van Persie is "out of form" for a long time now. When he played for Arsenal he was on top of his form, but just as h34dhunt3r said, when he moved to a rival club Manchester United, he made very big mistake. He just couldn't find his right form there and than all managers "kept him aside" more and more. I hope that...

I hope that he will find a right club for him and that we will be watching him playing great football as he know to play.

I once loved this guy, but then he moved to a rival club. He had one good season and then curse started. Robin van Persie is top class striker, and he belongs in Premier League. Leaving it for Lazio would be mistake. Don't get me wrong, in this time of his career he cant do better then blues from Rome, but italian football...

Leaving it for Lazio would be mistake. Don't get me wrong, in this time of his career he cant do better then blues from Rome, but italian football just wont fit him. He might get one more chance in Manchester, considering those are all still rumors.

He is such a good player and I believe that move to Serie A could be one step down for him. This league is not good enough to attract players of this quality. I still remember his goal on WC and I believe that he has lot of qualitz to show us in coming years. But I will like also to change his club and to come to the Liverpool

This is disappointing news for Lazio fans. They want big names and great players in their squad. Van Persie was great target but they have no money for that transfer. Also, Miroslav Klose extend contact with Lazio, Djordjevic showed that he is good option. But, they need one outstanding attacker if they want to qualify...

He is top clas goalscorer.He is not young anymore but there is still a lot of class in his body.He could give a lot to Lazio,but I really cant see him going there.There are rumours that Juventus is looking for replacement for Carlos Tevez (he is probably going to finish career in Boca Juniors) and that replacement should...
