Milan Constantly Ask About Javier Pastore - Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini
The former Huracan man has become a prized asset for 'Zampa'...

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.
