Manchester United Eyeing Huracan Starlet Javier Pastore


The promising Argentine midfielder is thought to have turned down a move to the Red Devils in the past...

According to a report in the British tabloid The Sun, Premier League giants Manchester United are hoping to tie up a deal for Huracan's Javier Pastore during the close-season.

In April, the promising 19-year-old's agent claimed that he had turned down the opportunity to move to Old Trafford in a deal worth €10 million (£8.8m).

If true, it seems that has not put the Red Devils off pursuing the 6ft 1in midfielder as it is said they are at the head of a queue of clubs looking to acquire his services.

The former Talleres starlet has also been linked with Italian duo Lazio and Palermo, while it is now thought that fellow Serie A club Milan as well as European champions Barcelona are in the hunt for his signature.

To date, Pastore has scored eight goals in 27 appearances for Huracan.

With shorter hair, who would he remind you of? :nervous:
 
He is the best player in Argentina at the moment. Great control, he score goals.
 
Err, it's Ronaldo you dumbasses. Can't believe noone's seen it.
 
Argentina’s next number 10

Modern football is in many ways more of an athletic game rather than a technical one and the rise of a classic "number 10" is exciting for both Argentina and the global football community at large.

At the age of just 19, Javier Pastore is becoming one of the most important youngsters in Argentinean football following some excellent performances for Club Atletico Huracan.

This attacking midfielder, with just one year of experience in the Argentinean Primera Division is being scouted by the elite of European clubs including Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan and Juventus. But it seems that his agent, Marcelo Simonian, is fully aware of his client’s burgeoning talents.

Earlier this year, Pastore´s agent rejected an offer from Manchester United for €10 million because the player wants to go to a team when he has the chance to play and improve his level.

Pastore was born in Cordoba, Argentina, in June 1989. Initially he played for Talleres de Cordoba youth team, a club that is in the second division and fighting to avoid relegation. In January 2007 he was sent on loan to Huracan until June 2009 when his contract also expires at Talleres.

The young playmaker has become a major star in Argentina with calls for national team coach Diego Maradona to pick Pastore, especially as Roman Riquelme no longer plays for the South American heavyweights.

In January, Javier was called to play in the Sudamericano tournament for the Under-20 national team, but Huracan wouldn’t release him to ensure he had a pre-season with his team mates. Maradona hasn’t forgotten this refusal.

Pastore is a different player, from those that are abundant in modern football. He is a creative and stylish playmaker. He is capable of playing off the striker in a typical number 10 role, or on either flank. But he doesn’t only provide assists and spread the ball well; he also scores goals thanks to his brilliant long-range shooting.

Although it is early days in his career, Pastore does not have any glaring weaknesses, but because of his age he is inconsistent. When Pastore plays poorly it affects the team who are reliant on his excellent attacking link-up play. Another weakness is his aerial game, which is something that he has to improve upon.

During the second-half of the Argentinean season, Pastore has received a lot of praise from fans, pundits and football professionals alike. His interplay with team mates Matias De Federico and Mario Bolatti, have ensured Huracan are unlikely title challengers in the Clausura.

At the time of writing, Pastore is one of the top goal scorers in the Clausura, with seven goals (and two assists) in 15 matches. Due to his fine performances this season, it seems Pastore’s days in Argentina are numbered.

Two days after his re-election as Huracan president, Carlos Babington has announced he is determined to keep Pastore at the club for another season. Reports suggest he has come to an agreement with the player’s owners whereby 10% of Pastore’s ownership will be owned by Huracan and if Pastore does move on soon, he may be loaned back for a short period.

Moves are in place behind the scenes for Pastore’s big move, judging by his displays so far, he could be a major star for Argentina (if Maradona picks him) and at some of the biggest clubs in Europe.

And here is the link for that Report.. They have done quite a few quality reports on youngsters check it out.. http://www.imscouting.com/Players_to_watch.aspx
 
Unbelievable that he signed for Palermo when he was being eyed by much bigger European clubs.
 
Palermo's Pastore staying put

Serie A outfit Palermo insist they have no intention of selling star man Javier Pastore.

The Argentine playmaker is reported to be attracting interest from afar, with Manchester United, Chelsea and Juventus all said to be keen.

However, Palmero director Walter Sabatini is adamant the 20-year is going nowhere.

"Pastore will not be sold," he claimed.

"It won't happen in June, neither next season. He represents the future of this club and this is why we won't accept any bid for him."
No offers

Palermo have invested heavily in the stars of tomorrow over recent years, having offloaded a number of the more experienced members of their squad to bigger clubs.

Abel Hernandez, a teenage forward from Uruguay, is also believed to have caught the eye of potential suitors, but once again Sabatini insists there is no chance of a deal being struck.

"Abel Hernandez is another of our youngsters who will not be going anywhere," he continued.

"It is not true that Arsenal have made an offer for him."

The Sicilians are currently flying high in Serie A and have their sights set on a top four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification.

He's also yet to hit the heights he had for Huracan. It will happen but it's taking time for him to adjust.
