There has been a lot of confusion and speculation surrounding the future of Palermo’s Javier Pastore, with rumours that an agreement has already been reached for the player to go to Paris Saint-Germain and stories that his agent is to discuss terms with Chelsea officials today.

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini denied that Pastore to PSG is more-or-less a done deal, but confirmed that the player’s agent Marcelo Simonian will meet with Chelsea in the UK today.

Zamarini told Stadio News yesterday:

“Tomorrow [Friday] his agent Marcelo Simonian will be in London to meet Chelsea.”

He also played down reports that Pastore is PSG bound:

“It’s not true and this news is an invention.

“The only thing that is certain is that he is going abroad.

“We are in the decisive days now and I think Pastore is just one of a few world-class players, but I won’t say where he is going, even under torture.

“The offers are between €40million [£34.9m] and €50million [£43.6m].”

Chelsea are looking to bolster their midfield depth and are already close to signing promising youngster Oriol Romeu, but are yet to make a significant signing in that area and have so far failed to land Tottenham’s Luka Modric, could Javier Pastore, 22, be the Stamford Bridge club’s first big signing of the summer transfer window?

    You are 100% right my dear and also AVB should offload some aged players who have already proven their wort(Anelka,Malouda,Zirkov,Feriera,Bosingwa).Let fresh blood and young Guys come in.the likes of pastore,Lukaku,Luka Modric,Johnson. And we will be sure we are ready for title challenge. And i beleive Torres will deliver this season.

    They say sometimes it’s not good to plan too far ahead. But in my opinion if this deal does go through he will definitely be a good signing for Chelsea this summer. He’s a player whose young with a lot of years in front of him with a whole lot of talent and would have a player like Lampard to call upon in times of encouragement and a little direction. He will definitely bolster the midfield with the likes of Ramires the workhorse and McEachran the special one around him. Lets not forget Lampard the realiable one, Essien the bison, Mikel the cool one and Benayoun the darkhorse.
    If the deal does go through we will have a midfield with the precise blend of youth and senior players that will definitely put us as the favourites along with Man U to win the League again while fighting for other honours like the FA Cup, Carling and lets not forget about the one we all want, “The Champions League.” If we sign him along with Van Der Wiel, Turan and Lukaku. Our starting XI should look something like this:
    ——-Cech——-
    VDW,Luiz,Terry,Cole
    Pastore,Ramires,McEachran
    Sturridge,Torres,Turan

    Chelsea needs a potential striker before talking about winning any title this season.from all the pre season games I’ve watched,90% of the goals scored by chelsea are from midfielders and defenders which is not good for our survival next season.If we can sign someone like Falcao,lukaku or Eto’o then we can win the title…the strikers are more important than pastore and modric we hv been fighting to get

      all of you dont know what is the problem of Chelsea.
      all our players are good and hot.Asoleth the former
      Chelsea coach is the problem.Chelsea used to give their opponent 3 t0 6 zero when that assistant coach the one with bold was their.but immedaitely that man left Chelsea,Chelsea collapse can’t u all see the hand writing on d wall?Chelsea let them not try to sell Droba.they can not have a force striker like Droba.

  4. Chelsea lomo says:

    Chelsea should go for pastore since that we can’t sign modric again and i see that creativity midfielder is what we lack in our midfield bcos the striker don’t see much ball upfront. Pastore should come and we should josh mceachrean a chance this coming season. CHELSEA TILL I DIE.
