Javier Pastore’s future as part of Paris Saint Germain depends on two factors according to a report published today by Corriere dello Sport.
The Argentine, who has come in to links with Inter could be sacrificed for Financial Fair Play’s sake by the French powerhouses. PSG are understood to need to raise around €80 million to avoid facing sanctioning from European football’s governing body UEFA. With a wealth of midfield talent, Pastore may seek pastures new to secure regular first team football. Reports from France suggest that he may be suffering psychologically due to his limited use this term. Pastore has just started four games this season and made a total of eight appearances in all competitions.
Secondly, the 28-year-old’s future depends on PSG manager Unai Emery making him feeling like an important member of his side. The former Palermo play maker was forced to give up the number 10 shirt during the summer as Neymar joined the Parc Des Princes club in a world record 222 million deal, suggesting he is not deemed important enough to hold on to something as small as a squad number.
