Micciche hints at Chelsea switch

The Daily Mail is reporting that Palermo playmaker Javier Pastore is on the verge of joining Chelsea.

Gugliemlo Micciche, Vice-President at the Italian club, has claimed that the Argentine midfielder is on the verge of moving to Stamford Bridge.

Despite renewed interest from PSG, Micciche claimed that the 22-year-old will be playing in the Premier League next season indicating Chelsea could be his destination.

He said: “We are talking about a great player who, in my opinion, is extraordinary.

“There is no doubt that he should be sold for several reasons. He wants a big club and negotiations are well advanced with a very important team.

“His agent is working well and if someone pays the right amount we are happy to let him go.

“Very likely he will go to Chelsea but I think there are many other clubs of that level looking at the boy.”

Micciche is a huge admirer of Pastore but seems resigned to losing the Serie A clubs midfield lynchpin.

There is speculation that a deal has already been struck and if the player does move to West London it will be a huge boost to Blues boss Andre-Villas Boas.

He is looking to add young, vibrant players to his ageing squad and Pastore would provide an attacking threat from midfield that was lost due to Frank Lampard’s injury lay-off
