"Palermo playmaker Javier Pastore is just hours away from being sold as club president Maurizio Zamparini announces his departure.

The 22-year-old midfielder has been linked with a plethora of clubs across Europe including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Roma, Manchester City, Inter and AC Milan.

The latest reports have claimed that Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are the two sides closest to landing the Argentina ace in a 45 million euro deal.

Zamparini did not disclose who he is dealing with, but said the matter will be resolved within hours.

"I will only speak after the sale. We are closing, it's just a matter of hours," Zamparini told Sky Sport Italia.

Vice-president Guglielmo Micciche echoed the patron's comments and told Calciomercato.it: "There are talks in place and it is Zamparini who is dealing with them. Paris and London are both nice cities."

Meanwhile, Sky Sport Italia is claiming that Salvatore Sirigu has joined PSG. The Ligue 1 side will reportedly pay the Italians 3.5 million euros for the Italy international goalkeeper."


Alright so they want 50m or something for him and Chelsea is in pole position to get him right now. Honestly think he'll go for about 35m. Wondering what everyone thinks of the kid, would you like to see him in LFC if we had the funds? Can play either wing, midfield, or just behind the striker.

not a chance.

never seem him pllay but we aint going to spend 40m on a CM

We don't need him. We need defenders.

would like to get him, but for that price we can get two players in his position. Mario Gotze would be one example, we should snap him up for about 10m or so

Ok ok, let's focus on Galatasaray and Valencia now - I mean Arda Turan and Juan Mata!

He's very talented but would far rather see someone like Mata, Turan, Holtby, Gotze etc. who would all be a fraction of the price. The price for Carroll was steep but the 40-50 million these Italian clubs are looking for unproven players is abit crazy.

exactly and considering he only cost palermo 2.5m just over 2seasons ago tells you all you need to no and lets be honest he hasent set the italian league on fire hes been average to say the least all season compare him to snachez who in contrast outplayed him all season including out scoring and assisting him yet he signs for barca for 23m yet palermo want 50m for an unproven goat who when hes pulled on an argentina top has looked way out of his depth and i think he realises going to the EPL would ruin him and in turn think hell take the easy route out and head for psg adios lol

He's a Liverpool fan and said his wish is to score a goal in front of the Kop and play for a Club with rich History.

dont know whether to laugh or cry
