MACEDONIA striker Goran Pandev can leave Lazio for free with immediate effect after an Italian league commission agreed to cancel his contract on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old has not played for the Serie A club this term after being banished for asking for a move in the close-season.
"Pandev's appeal has been upheld by the league commission, which ruled in our favor. Goran's contract with Lazio has therefore been resolved," lawyer Mattia Grassani told reporters.
Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus have been linked with moves for Pandev and Inter boss Jose Mourinho mentioned him as a potential replacement for African Nations Cup-bound forward Samuel Eto'o.
"It's the end of a nightmare. I'm sorry for Lazio and the fans. I've been treated shamefully," Pandev said.
Lazio has struggled this term without its most consistent performer for the last two seasons, but club president Claudio Lotito had been adamant that Pandev deserved such severe punishment and would not be sold.
"The sentence was already written," a bitter Lotito told Radio Radio, referring to his unhappiness with the makeup of the specially-convened commission.
"It doesn't finish here. We will see who will win in the end."
Pandev, whose deal with the Rome club was to run out in June anyway, could have left for Zenit St Petersburg for around 15 million euros last summer, according to media reports.
