Javier Pastore is edging closer to a Palermo exit after the club chairman admits he “gives up” on Argentine. Club president Maurizio Zamparini has accepted defeat in trying to convince the South American star to stay.
“I give up on Pastore,” Zamparini said to Sky Italia. “He speaks more to his agent than he does with me.
“I am not offended. It’s logical that, at the most, he would have played one more season at Palermo; but at the same time if he did, he would have more pressure and he wouldn’t be the same Pastore we know.”
Zamparini will now try and maximise his return for the 21-yeard old, he said
“There are big clubs that want him,” added Zamparini. “We are talking about one of the top talents in current football and I will not sell him on the cheap.
“I paid €19million for him when he was 18.”
