Liverpool and AC Milan are vying for the services of Javier Pastore, according to reports in the English press. The PSG midfielder has piqued the interest of Liverpool, who are making him a priority target for the upcoming winter transfer window. The Reds, having missed out on signings like Willian (Chelsea) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Borussia Dortmund), are now facing stiff competition from AC Milan, who are also keen on acquiring the former Palermo player.
Javier Pastore, a 24-year-old Argentine talent standing at 1.87m, commenced his professional career with Palermo in 2009. Despite initial challenges, he eventually found success. With a total of 11 goals in Serie A, he was honored as the best young player in the league in 2011. In 2011, Pastore signed a €42 million contract with PSG. In May 2013, he played a pivotal role as PSG secured their first Ligue 1 title for the player and the third for the club. However, his recent lack of prominence, spending significant time on the bench under both Carlo Ancelotti (who departed for Real Madrid) and Laurent Blanc, has sparked speculation about a possible departure this winter to a new club.
