Argentine youngster Cristian Ledesma will play for Lazio next season after he left Lecce on Thursday evening.
“Lecce communicate that they have sold the playing rights of footballer Cristian Ledesma to Lazio,” read a Giallorossi statement.
The Buenos Aires native had been strongly linked with the Biancocelesti for some time and completed his move despite the club’s involvement in the Calciopoli trial.
Ledesma, born in 1982, had scored three goals in 93 Serie A games for Lecce following his debut in March 2002.
The South American was netted at the specific request of boss Delio Rossi who did manage him for his one season on the Via Del Mare bench.
