Javier Pastore's wage demands could scupper West Ham move
Monday 4 June 2018 20:17, UK
Javier Pastore's move to West Ham is unlikely to happen at this stage due to the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder's wage demands, according to Sky sources.
Sky Sports News understands the 28-year-old is currently asking for wages up to £190,000-a-week.
West Ham are keen to bring Pastore to the club and remain in talks over a deal that would be worth up to £17.5m.
PSG are willing to sell the Argentine as they aim to comply with UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations.
Pastore, who joined PSG from Palermo in 2011, has only one year left on his current contract at the Parc des Princes.
