Palermo’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082 wants to leave the club, hints at Barcelona move – La Liga news
Palermo’s Javier Pastore has reportedly expressed his desire to leave the Italian club, insisting that time is right for him to explore other options with La Liga and UEFA Champions League winning Barcelona tipped to be his next destination.
Having joined Palermo in 2009 and three years still remaining on his five-year contract, the 21-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from Stadio Renzo Barbera in the ongoing summer transfer season. The former Talleres and Huracan player has
made over 100 league appearances in his short career to date.
Among many European clubs, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Barcelona are keen to acquire the services of the Argentine for the next season. However, Barcelona are being tipped as the favourites to get his signature. The Catalans could face stiff competition from
the English giants, Manchester United, and the Italian powerhouse, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, who are expected to join the race in coming days.
With so many clubs keeping an eye on the striker, Pastore’s brilliance is easy to gauge. The 23-year-old has been slapped with a hefty € 50 million price tag. It would be a huge test for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 to utilize their modest looking €45 million budget effectively,
as they are also targeting the €50 million-rated Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas.
“I think that the moment has come to leave Palermo”. The Argentinean was reported to have said.
The highly-rated Pastore seems to be a great admirer of Barcelona and the mercurial http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296.
“Barcelona are a fantastic side and it’s a pleasure to watch them play. Messi is indescribable. It is so easy to play alongside him. He is very humble and likeable. We get on very well both on and off the field, which has been the case right from our first
match together for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841.” Pastore was all praise for the little genius.
Palermo President, Maurizio Zamparini, wants the sought-after talent to extend his stay at the Sicilian club as he considers Pastore to be the crown Jewel of his team.
