Leonardo: 'Javier Pastore stays'

Paris Saint-Germain's sporting director Leonardo has insisted that Argentine playmaker Javier Pastore will be staying with the club.

The 23-year-old joined from Serie A side Palermo for £34m last summer, but has struggled to find form this season.

He recently stated that he would love to play for AC Milan one day, but Leonardo has played down talk of an impending exit.

"He'll stay with us, 100%," Football Italia quotes Leonardo as saying.

"There really isn't even the need to talk about that."

Pastore has 13 caps for his country.
