Pizarro blasts Udinese treatment

The Chilean international has fallen out-of-favour in recent weeks after a row with club officials over his new contract.

Pizarro claims he has been frozen out of things because of his refusal to sign a new deal and he is upset at how the club have reacted to him.

"They are destroying my career and I think that I don't deserve that for all what I have done for Udinese. I have even played for this team when I wasn't in perfect conditions," said Pizarro.

"They could have loaned me last summer instead of making me suffer so much. That would have been the best thing for all of us."

Pizarro has been linked with a move away from Udinese in January when the transfer window reopens, but the South American believes it would be best to move on in the summer.

"The board members of Udinese know what I want. If I have to move it is better to do it in June because moving when half of the championship has been played isn't good," he added.
