Javier Pastore played 45 minutes against Rennes in the French Cup last night and was subbed off early due to muscle contractions but it does seem to be anything serious. All in the midst of feverish negotiations between Inter and Paris Saint-Germain.

The Nerazzurri management is doing everything in their power to gift the gifted Argentine playmaker to Luciano Spalletti. Meanwhile, Pastore himself gave an interview after the match regarding the situation from his point of view. “I do not know if I’m staying at PSG”, he said to French reporters who described him as “not very loquacious”.

Pastore has made no secret of his desire to join Inter, exclaiming a great admiration for the Nerazurri colours and a desire play more in order to solidify his place with Argentina at the Russian World Cup in the summer. An agreement between the two clubs is proving to be very difficult, so it’s best not to celebrate too early.
