New Estudiantes manager Roberto Sensini has been after Lázzaro since the start of the month and was hopeful of concluding a deal for the striker when they made a second offer of $250,000 after their initial approach was flatly refused.
However, although Tigre feel that the current offer is nearer Lázzaro's true value, they still do not feel that it is quite enough and have requested a further $50,000, taking the deal to $300,000.
Lázzaro, 33, is said to be unhappy at the situation and missed Tigre's training session earlier today in what many saw as an attempt to put pressure on the club board to accept Estudiantes' offer.
He was an integral part of the Tigre side that finished in second place in the 2007 Apertura in their first ever season in the top flight of Argentine football, scoring ten goals in eighteen games.
His scoring ability attracted the attention of Sensini, who turned his attention to the experienced striker after missing out on Sebastián Abreu, who signed for River Plate instead.
With the player seemingly ready to take matters into his own hands to get the transfer he wants, it seems like it will only be a matter of days before some arrangement is met and Lázzaro gets the chance he so craves to play for Estudiantes in the 2008 Copa Libertadores.
