The Latest AS Roma News
Roma attacking midfielder Javier Pastore is set to leave the club at the end of the season, reports claim.
Pastore joined Roma from PSG last summer, but the move always seemed an odd fit, and the Argentinian has struggled to find his best form back in Italy. Despite scoring a backheel goal in just his second game for Roma, Pastore has since found it hard to keep his place in the side. A number of injury problems and a poor work-rate and attitude have seen his gametime diminish - an issue which has only been complicated more for him by the emergence of Lorenzo Pellegrini and Nicolo Zaniolo in his preferred position. According to Calciomercato, Roma and Pastore are set to part ways at the end of the season, just one year into the five-year contract that Monchi strangely offered the 29-year-old in the summer. The report claims Pastore's representatives have been in talks with Chinese clubs over a possible transfer, but the player would rather move back to his native Argentina, where River Plate are readying an offer. With key attacker Juan Quintero recently suffering an ACL injury, the reigning Copa Libertadores champions are looking for an alternative in the number 10 role. The only obstacle to the move could be in the details of the offer. River Plate are only willing to take Pastore on loan, whereas Roma are looking to sell, in order to recoup some of the €25m that was spent on him. However, his hefty wages make a loan a feasible option, as the Giallorossi aim to reduce their expenditure on a player who has offered so little this season.
