Fabricio Coloccini remains a wanted man in Argentina as San Lorenzo cranked up the pressure on Newcastle United to get their man.

Outspoken San Lorenzo president Matias Lammens is continuing his audacious bid to sign the Toon skipper on a free transfer but admitted they can't even afford a transfer fee.

His comments follow last night's report in the Chronicle which revealed that a meeting beteween the player and his advisors had been postponed until Monday.

But Lammens told the Argentine media: "We are going to offer him a good contract, he wants to come and I have hope that it can be done. We understand the people of Newcastle, it is hard to let a player like him leave.

"But Coloccini has to end his contract.

"We depend on the feelings of the player and on what he can negotiate in England.

"We can't buy his transfer in no way.

"He has been chosen as the best defender of the Premier League, he is an elite player.

"San Lorenzo can only point to Coloccini's feelings and not to his pocket. He has personal problems and wants to return to Argentina. We can only offer him a good contract."
