Argentinian attacking midfielder Javier Pastore joined AS Roma on Tuesday from French champions Paris Saint-Germain in a 24.7-million-euro ($28.8 million) deal.
The 29-year-old, who has two goals in 29 appearances for Argentina but missed out on selection for the World Cup, signed a five-year contract with Roma that runs until June 30, 2023.
“I am very happy to be here at Roma,” said Pastore, who previously played in Serie A with Palermo from 2009-11 and was named the league’s young player of the season in 2010.
“It is great to return to Italy, and to do it with such a great club.
“I hope to repay in full all the enthusiasm, support and affection that Roma fans have shown me already,” said the gifted playmaker, who was the first major signing PSG made in 2011 after being taken over by their Qatari owners.
