Palermo president offers fresh hope to Man City, Chelsea for Pastore

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has again touted star playmaker Javier Pastore to English clubs.

With Chelsea and Manchester City keen, Zamparini believes Pastore will move to a team outside the Serie A.

Zamparini told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I can assure everyone that I have not been contacted by AC Milan or Inter Milan despite what has been reported.

"The only president of an Italian club that asked me for Pastore was (Napoli president Aurelio) De Laurentiis.

"We had a chat. But Italian clubs cannot afford the price we are requesting for Pastore.

"I have tried to keep him at Palermo but he and his agent want to find another club in order for the player to make a leap in quality."
