Newly crowned champions AC Milan will hold a party at Saturday's last home game of the season against Cagliari but the mood has been soured somewhat by midfielder Clarence Seedorf criticising the club's contract policy.
Seedorf, Alessandro Nesta, captain Massimo Ambrosini and Andrea Pirlo are all out of contract in the close season after the Rossoneri decided to run down their deals before deciding whether to offer new terms.
"To not have sorted everything out with Nesta, Ambrosini and Pirlo just two weeks from the end of the season is a strategy that I don't agree with," the Dutchman told reporters.
"The fans must stay calm and support us, we will manage to reach our goal," Lavezzi told reporters. "If you really think about it, we could have won this title."
"Personally, I'm optimistic and I still believe," he told reporters despite forward Federico Macheda looking doubtful.
Fifth-placed AS Roma are two points behind fourth but Daniele De Rossi and Simone Perrotta are banned for Sunday's game at mid-table Catania while fellow midfielders Matteo Brighi and David Pizarro are not fully fit.
