Palermo playmaker Javier Pastore is just hours away from being sold as club president Maurizio Zamparini announces his departure.
The 22-year-old midfielder has been linked with a plethora of clubs across Europe including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Roma, Manchester City, Inter and AC Milan.
The latest reports have claimed that Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are the two sides closest to landing the Argentina ace in a €45 million deal.
Zamparini did not disclose who he is dealing with, but said the matter will be resolved within hours.
"I will only speak after the sale. We are closing, it's just a matter of hours," Zamparini told Sky Sport Italia.
Vice-president Guglielmo Micciche echoed the patron's comments and told Calciomercato.it: "There are talks in place and it is Zamparini who is dealing with them. Paris and London are both nice cities."
