Javier Pastore

The fact that there's this completely uncritical audience for PSG and for QSI.

You know, when they're out there in that first raft of signings buying Javier Pastore and Zlatan before we get to Mbappé and Neymar and Messi further down the road, there's no real sense in French football discourse of what if this completely ruins the league? What if this completely skews competition? And so in that sense, the path that they faced, at least domestically, is very different to the path that City have, have faced.

So I, I guess wh- whether you think that means their route towards the Champions League betwe- became, you know, easier or more complicated, you know, that's, that's a point of view and y- you could make points from either side on, on that.

But in terms of how they've been able to establish themselves as part of French football's fabric and actually get to the point where we are now, where French football and its survival is kind of completely reliant on Nasser Al-Khelaifi and, and the way that he wants to, to, to carry on with things.

I've not won anything on Super Rare.

Javier Pastore.

Obviously.

It's left back.

Javier Pastore-

Left wing

...

Yeah.

I mean, he, like there's, I see, I see quite a few shouts for Javier Pastore who was-

Mm

... sort of knocking around.

His father is directly in charge of the decision after meeting with several agencies in recent weeks.

Javier Pastore, um, is said to be the man looking to grab hold of, uh, Alvarez as potentially a new client.

Um, but yes, uh, [laughs] Javier Pastore, you might remember, uh, is a former Argentinian player, a former, um, PSG player as well, and has now moved into agency, uh, effectively.

And, um, and what he's been doing since leaving his playing days.

But of course, we know that Arsenal were heavily linked with a move to Julian Alvarez in the summer, that he is a player that Mikel Arteta would have absolutely loved to have brought to the club.

I

know he was thinking about it, like he was going to hire Javier Pastore as his agent.

Yeah.

That was that's apparently his alternative.
