Palermo star Pastore: I dream of playing for Barcelona

Palermo midfielder Javier Pastore dreams of playing for Barcelona.

Chelsea failed with a bid for the Argentine, who has been likened to Real Madrid star Kaka, in January.

"In 10 years' time, I can see myself raising a family and hopefully I can wear the Barcelona shirt," he told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

"I dream of challenging Messi and to have his shirt, but lets go slowly on that.

"I am getting better slowly and I would like to be compared to [Juan Roman] Riquelme or Kaka."
