We're close to finalising it. It's only a matter of time," he told Sky Italia.[LNB]Micciche, however, was more forthcoming.[LNB]"Chelsea or PSG? Both London and Paris are two beautiful cities, and both represent a great opportunity for Pastore," he told Calcio Mercato.[LNB]"At the moment there are negotiations in progress and it is a situation which is involving the president Zamparini, along with the boy's attorneys.[LNB]"We're talking about a major player and therefore important figures. We're looking for the best solution for both parties.[LNB]"I'm sure, however, that Pastore will join the team that shows the most desire to secure his signature."[LNB]Palermo are said to want €40million (£35.1million) for Pastore.
