Chelsea line up £30m move for Paris Saint-Germain midfielder

Chelsea are reportedly lining up a £30million summer move for Paris Saint-Germain attacking midfielder Javier Pastore, according to Tuttomercatoweb, via the Daily Express.

Following a disappointing season for the Blues, which will end trophy-less and possibly without European football barring a fine end to the Premier League campaign, a major rebuilding job is expected in the summer when Antonio Conte takes the reins.

One player that is interesting the west London outfit is Pastore, with the Argentina international impressing for Laurent Blanc’s side over the course of the last few years, and appeared as a second half substitute in the defeat to Manchester City, who are also rumoured to be keen on the forward, on Tuesday night.

The PSG man joined the Ligue 1 champions in 2011 from Serie A side Palermo, and the 26-year-old has gone on to make 205 appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring 36 goals and picking up 43 assists.
