Lazio comms chief Stefano De Martino has taken fresh aim at David Silva after his move to Real Sociedad.

The former Manchester City captain was expected to sign for Lazio before his sudden about-face.

“A great deal has been said over the last 48 hours about the David Silva situation," De Martino told Lazio Style Radio.

“Lazio have always behaved in the correct way and we still believe that when someone gives his word, it means something.

“Director of Sport Igli Tare has already commented on the whole affair, as Lazio did everything we needed to in a very open and fair way.

“Some of the versions we've read over the last couple of days are not accurate, and it's disappointing to see people spreading these rumours.

“The good news is that the Biancocelesti fans no longer fall into these traps."
