There is a 50 per cent chance Javier Pastore will leave Palermo - Maurizio Zamparini
Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini could be inclined to sell Javier Pastore if the right offer comes along.
Pastore has been linked with a plethora of European clubs following another stellar campaign in Sicily, but the supremo has steadfastly maintained that his star playmaker would remain for at least one more season.
However, his stance has softened, with 'Zampa' now admitting there is a 50 per cent chance the attacker could leave the club this summer.
"There is a 50 per cent chance that he will remain and I hope that he doesn’t leave," he told Il Corriere dello Sport.
"It is no mystery that he is liked by Milan, Inter, Juventus, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona. It’s a siege," he added.
"Only one big club have come to me to make an enquiry for him, the others have contacted his agent.
"Who called me direct? It was one of Milan, Inter and Juventus."
"As far as I am concerned he is not on the market though. He has three years left to run on his deal and I am ready to renew that, but if someone offers me a lot of money…"
Should Pastore, who carries a reported €40 million price tag, pack his bags, Zamparini says he could see him in Catalunya.
Asked which team would suit 'El Flaco', Zampa said: "The Barcelona jersey, but let us leave him in peace for now. He has the Coppa Italia final coming up and then the Copa America."
