Palermo starlet Javier Pastore has impressed with his displays in Serie A and many top clubs have taken notice.

However, club president Maurizio Zamparini has told the press he intends to hold on to the Argentine, despite particular interest for Milan.

"At 20 years old, [Diego] Maradona has called him to the national team. I fear the sirens of larger clubs than Palermo," he told Il Corriere dello Sport.

"[Milan director Ariedo] Braida calls me every time Pastore has a good game, he has also sought to buy him. [Milan vice president] Galliani would not ask me, he knows I would say no."

Another Rosanero player grabbing the headlines is centre-back Simon Kjaer, who is linked with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and the Rossoneri.

"Kjaer is struggling with the calls of the sirens, I hope that he remains," he concluded.
