Reported West Ham United target Javier Pastore looks set to join AS Roma from Paris Saint-Germain.
Javier Pastore is not joining West Ham United from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer window, and the following photo is proof of that.
The Argentina international attacking midfielder has arrived in Rome, as he looks set to complete his move to Italian club AS Roma.
Earlier this month, Sky Sports reported that West Ham were in talks with PSG over the transfer of the former Palermo star in a £17.5 million deal

It was reported that Pastore was asking for a weekly wage of £190,000, and it seems that the Hammers gave up trying to convince the 29-year-old to reduce his wage demands and move to the London Stadium.
Pastore is one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe, and it was hard to see West Ham convince him to join Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
After all, the Argentine is used to playing in the Champions League and competing for league titles, while West Ham just about managed to stave off relegation to the Championship last season.
Roma will challenge for the Scudetto next season and will also feature in the Champions League.
