The former PSG player gave his news. His physical condition is not at its best and he believes he is on the verge of ending his career.
It was the first big blow for Paris Saint-Germain, the Qatari version. Recruited by the capital club in 2011, the Argentinian then broke the record for the most expensive transfer in France, with an operation estimated at forty-two million euros. With Paris, Javier Pastore will win everything in France (five championships, two French Cups, five League Cups and three Champions Trophy) before leaving for other lands, already the victim of a fragile physique. A few years later, the international is now without a club and the rest of his career hangs by a thread.
During an interview given to Prime Video, Javier Pastore took stock of his professional situation. Broadcast this Sunday, the interview was an opportunity for him to play fair. His retirement is imminent. “ I still have to have hip surgery. And honestly, if I have surgery, it’s to have a better life, without pain. I have pain every day, not just when I play football. In everyday life too. I have to stop this because it’s not pleasant. »
🥹 Javier Pastore: “It would be a miracle to return to football. My head is already a little gone. »

A miracle
As for the future, the one who revealed himself in Palermo and who also wore the AS Roma jersey in Serie A, is not very optimistic. “ In June-July I will see how I feel and whether or not I can continue playing. Then I will make a decision. (Resuming football) would be a miracle. In my head, I’m already a little gone. But we never know. » If he leaves himself a very small opening, Javier Pastore knows that the end of his adventure as a professional footballer is about to come to an end.
