Javier Pastore admits being frozen out by Roma: I've not been allowed to meet Mourinho

Javier Pastore admits he's been frozen out at Roma in preseason.

The midfielder is up for sale at the Giallorosso.

“I have not even met (coach Jose) Mourinho, the club wants to sell me," Pastore told Tiempo de Juego.

“They didn't even allow me to meet with him, nor to train so that I can show the coach if he wants to count on me or not.

“I am training separately with a group of 20 players that Roma want to either sell or send out on loan. We'll wait to the end of the session and then see what happens.

“I have nothing concrete in terms of offers.

"Despite the fact I recovered from my injury, I practically never played over the last four months and this made it more difficult to find a buyer.

“I am trying something to get out of the contract, but there's nothing so far."
