Klose refutes Lazio contract claims

Lazio sporting director Igli Tare said Miroslav Klose turned down a two-year extension, but the striker has refuted the comment.

Miroslav Klose has denied claims he was offered a contract extension by Lazio.

Klose joined the Serie A team from Bayern Munich in 2011 but his time in the Italian capital will end when his deal expires next month.

This week, Lazio sporting director Igli Tare claimed the 37-year-old had turned down an offer of a two-year extension in March, stating the striker "wasn't interested" in remaining.

Klose refuted those comments and said that neither he nor his agent was made aware of a proposal to remain at the Stadio Olimpico.
