The Latest AS Roma News
The agent of Roma attacking midfielder Javier Pastore has dismissed speculation that the player could leave the club in January.
Pastore, 29, joined from PSG in the summer, but injuries have hampered his progress so far, and links with a move to China recently emerged. However, the Argentinian's agent, Marcelo Simonian, has revealed that those rumours are baseless in an interview with Pagine Romaniste. "It is impossible that Javier goes to China in January," he said. "Now he is a lot better, he will return to the field upon returning from the [international] break." The update comes one day after Pastore himself posted a vow to return to action as soon as possible via Instagram. He wrote: "Friends, my journey with Roma was unfortunately immediately held back by a series of injuries that keep me away from the field. I wanted to give the best for our colours from the start, but I am trying to come back as soon as possible in top shape to take our team where it deserves. Your support for me at this moment is of great importance and I could not do without it as I try to overcome this obstacle. "I can't wait to return to do what I love most in my life, playing football! "See you soon, FORZA ROMA!"

Roma have completed the marquee signing of PSG attacking midfielder Javier Pastore.
The decorated 29-year-old signs a five-year contract with Roma and will wear the number 27 shirt. Roma have paid PSG €24.7m to sign Pastore, who returns to Italy after seven years in Paris. He previously spent two years in Serie A with Palermo before making the switch to France. Pastore has won 19 trophies in his career - all with PSG - and is a 29-time Argentina international. The right-footer is expected to be used in central midfield for Roma in Eusebio Di Francesco's 4-3-3 system. Roma sporting director Monchi hailed Pastore as possibly the most gifted player he has ever signed. He told asroma.com: “In my career as a sporting director I have signed a lot of players, but Javier might just be the one with the most talent.” Upon his arrival, Pastore said: "I am very happy to be here at Roma. "It is great to return to Italy, and to do it with such a great club. "I hope to repay in full all the enthusiasm, support and affection that Roma fans have shown me already." Benvenuto, Javier. |
