Paris-Saint Germain land Palermo star Javier Pastore in a record breaking transfer: Ligue 1 News
Paris Saint-Germain have won the battle for the signature of Palermo star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Pastore-c18082. President of the Serie A side, Maurizio Zamparini, has revealed that the deal has been sealed.
“The negotiations ended last night around midnight. The sale of Pastore at Paris Saint-Germain around 43 million is almost official.” Zamparini revealed to Italian media earlier today.
PSG have scored big in this transfer, making it the highest transfer in the Ligue 1 history, shattering the previous record that was set by Nicolas Anelka’s 33.5 million Euros transfer from Real Madrid to PSG in 2000.
Les Parisiens will be very pleased after winning the two-horse race with English Premier League giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
The 22-year-old playmaker has excellent control over the ball and his sensational dribbling skills are a real show-stopper. In the 2010/11 season, the Argentine international scored 11 goals in 34 league appearances, including his first hat-trick against
Catania.
Nicknamed “El Flaco” or “the skinny”, Pastore will add great value to the PSG squad and his individual brilliance will surely be mouthwatering to watch. Antoine Kombouare, the PSG head coach, will have to give Pastore a free-reign for him to shine on the
field.
According to the Gazzetta dello sport, the 43 million Euros fee will be paid in three equal installments by Paris SG. The daily Le Parisien reported that the Cordoba-born attacking midfielder will land in Paris on Monday or Tuesday from Santo Domingo to
sign his contract and give an official statement.
The finalization of this transfer has made a great impact in the football world. Arsene Wenger, coach of English Premier League giants http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, expressed his views on the recent spending spree of PSG, “The new PSG are on a different economic plane. They
are a French Manchester city. They live on a different financial planet and no other French club can complete with them.”
He added “It’s good for the French football that they are capable of buying top players.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority, who took ownership of PSG this summer, is already showing their worth in terms of financial resources. They have spent 50 million Euros already with a month remaining in closing of the transfer window.
The former Valenciennes coach, Kombouare, said that PSG have built a team that will challenge the Championelle and qualify for the UEFA Champions League by performing better than the previous seasons.
With the arrivals of stars, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Blaise-Matuidi-c7681, and now Pastore from Palermo, PSG will desperately try to land their first domestic title in nearly
20 years.
