CHELSEA ‘MUST PAY €50m FOR PASTORE ‘

Chelsea will need to offer €50m if they are to sign Palermo’s young Argentine forward, Javier Pastore.

The Italian club, who sacked manager, Delio Rossi, after losing the Coppa Italia final to Internazionale, claimed Chelsea have offered in the region of €36m for the 21-year-old, who was voted Serie A’s player of the year in 2010.

However, Palermo’s president, Maurizio Zamparini, said that much more would be required to see Pastore leave. “Chelsea’s offer did not reach the minimum figure that we set for a player of his quality,” he said. “There are five or six clubs interested, including Manchester City, but only Chelsea have made an offer.”

There will be no bidding war surrounding Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the temperamental Swede insisted he would be staying with AC Milan. There had been speculation that Ibrahimovic, who moved to San Siro from Barcelona last year, would seek another move. However, in a statement he said: “We have a great project that we are working on in Milan and winning the Scudetto was a step in the right direction. I will definitely be here next season.”
