Rumour: Liverpool target Javier Pastore does not want to leave

According to PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi, midfielder Javier Pastore does not want to leave the club.

There was talk about a possible loan or permanent move to Liverpool in the last transfer window but Nasser Al-Khelaifi quashed such rumours and was quoted saying:

“I am not sure Pastore wants to leave,”

“When a player is unhappy it is difficult to keep him. But it is not the case with Pastore.”

“We will never forget he was one of the very first key players to join our project.”

“We are loyal to our players as we ask them to be loyal to the club.”

He also added : “Pastore is both a man and player of quality. Maybe he is in a difficult period, but he remains one of the biggest talents in the football world.

“He knows he has to do much more. I still have big faith in him.”

With the World cup coming up some would question Pastore’s decision of staying at a club which cannot promise him regular first team football.
