Javier Pastore: 'Juventus tried to sign me this summer'

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore has revealed that Juventus tried to sign him this summer.

The Argentina international penned a new contract with the French champions in June.

Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri was keen to bring the 26-year-old to Serie A before the start of the season, but Pastore has insisted that he was not eager to leave PSG.

"I was approached by Juventus, but Paris Saint-Germain never had any intention of selling me, and I had no intention to go away and to leave France," he told ESPN.

Pastore joined Paris Saint-Germain from Palermo in 2011.
