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?

    we are just too quick to label torres a flop only a striker like messi can function in a team like ours without any concern,i think torres deserved 2 b given benefit of d doubt if he fails 2 perform nxt season after a generous playmaker has added 2 d team then we can use any word worse than flop 2 describe him,if we cant beat PSG to d signature of pastore then somtin is wrong wt chelsea.

    Adeyemi and hammed u people are big fools Torres will prove his mentle this season just give him a chance and release the pressure on him. Let pastore come so dat the 2 sides will be happy rather than 1 side being happy and the other side sad when we sign modric

    Torress jus need to improve dats all.. He nids to b @ d ryt place at d ryt tym.. Even without a playmaker let him do wat odas are doin.. I dnt blame anyone wu critisizes or defends him.. He as a playa nids to improve..
    For AVB, i jus pray for him cos he does nt knw wat d future holds.. D playas are d ones to speak wat d coach has in mind by playin out wat he asks dem to.. So if AVB decides nt to splash d money, d fans will b dissapointed if d team fails but AVB gets embarased both home and abroad.. If d youth system brings us glory, he gets d praise.. So he shld jus do wat he shld.. I am tired.. Dis is d borest transfer season i’v eva xperienced.. My fingers are crossed.. Anytin i see, i take.. 15days to d beginin.. Pre season almost ending.. Wen will d new player blend wit d rest of d team.. His policies is his choice.. So AVB u r d boss, command and it shall come to pass.. Players come and go, coaches come and go, owners even come and go, but CHELSEA remains for ever and so do i.. BLUES FOREVER.. KTBFFH always..

  4. Why are yu forcing me to be glad. I need Modric en a winger only not these other ones rated high for no gud reason.

  5. Chelsea pls buy pastore and sell malouda thank u up chelsea

  6. onyeka says:

    stop critics on Torres. It toke Babartov 2 seasons to prove himself @ man u. No striker b it Ronney can come 2 chelsea and score goal wit d junks we have as mid-fielders to d extent Drogba goes deep to collect a pass. Is al accelotti’s fault buy selling deco and ballack without quality replacement. If we want torres to score d service should b there dat was d secret to babartov’s last seasons form.

    Sell malouda … Yeah let’s also sell cech hilario and turnbull!!!!!!

      you talking like a person who hears stories about chelsea and not one who usually watch them play.malouda should pack his things and leave together with anelka and kalou(a joker who has hampered his own progress with desire to be classy).just compare this two players with nani ,young ,valencia giggs,park .nasri,walcot.silva adam jonson aguero,tevez ,balotelli and tell me who they are above in terms of skills and creating goals on the pitch.so shut up they are the reason tores isnt performing,they cant even beat a defender.anelka could even beat van dar sah one on one.shut up and admit it, we lacking the correct palayers around torres.i only advocate for lampard drogba terry and cech never to be sold because they have already done there bit for the club and need roles in the chelsea board either as scouts or academy trainers.what has malouda and anelka done for the club that they deserve to stay.

    proven epl player ,why are you people narrow minded
    why dont you look at potential before you start talking this shit.was modric proven before he came to epl.its like telling me to sack AVB and employ steve bruce beacause he is epl proven .we are not just epl contenders but also european contenders unless you want to be winning epl only for the rest of seasons to come.bring in players with potential
    and time on there side.sign and release pastore will replace (lampard=>give him apart time role and later a board or acoaching rolei.e a scout),kevin de bruyne(malouda),marin(kalou) hazard(anelka) and lukaku and loan him he replace drogba=>(like lampard should be given a board or coaching role i.e scout)in 1yr to come .with this i dont believe we will need to spend big for the next 5 seasons to come.just look at it courtios,bruma,luis,ivanovic,chalobah,kalas,van arnholt,betryand,mikel ramires,mceachren,kakuta,romeou,de bruyne,marko marin,pastore,lukaku,sturridge,kalas,rajkovic,
    tores,and many more young prospects.that will be a great present and future complete squad my dear.with the advantage of playing together for long time we will be a force.just look at bercelona and tell me how long have those people played together.
