Pastore agent scoffs at Roma link

Pastore one of the most highly sought-after players in Serie A following a couple of excellent seasons with Palermo.

ROME: Argentine playmaker Javier Pastore’s agent Marcelo Simonian has denied his client is set to move to Roma, following Italian press reports.

Pastore is one of the most highly sought-after players in Serie A following a couple of excellent seasons with Palermo.

But with the Sicilians’ President Maurizio Zamparini insisting it would take a mega-bid to prise him away, Simonian insists cash-strapped Roma is not a likely destination for the 21-year-old.

“There’s no truth in it, I only found out about it through the media,” said Simonian.
