The 23-year-old playmaker has battled to cement his position in Carlo Ancelotti's star studded eleven, which boasts players of the caliber of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Carlos Moura.

Despite previously being linked to AC Milan and bitter rivals Inter, the Argentinian has reportedly told Italian weekly magazine Chi that he expects to end up at the San Siro, in the future.

"Sooner or later, I will play for the Rossoneri," he said. "I have a wonderful relationship with (vice-president) Adriano Galliani.

"We will have lunch together away from prying eyes when we next meet up in Milan.

"Milan is a magical club. That's how I feel about it."

PSG boss Ancelotti and sporting director, Brazilian legend Leonardo, are focused on winning the French title and will likely be annoyed and infuriated by these comments.

Pastore has presumptuously been quoted as saying: "I will win something with PSG first, then I'll go. Everyone in Paris has faith in me from the president to the coach, but something is wrong.

"The media is hostile - especially with foreigners. They always blame us and protect their fellow countrymen.

"With the French media cheering for the French players it has been very difficult for me to settle down. In Italy it is a different story."

The midfielder is reluctant on partnering up with sought after Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli, who AC Milan are reportedly keen on signing.

"Playing with Balotelli? He causes too much trouble," Pastore added.

With established internationals such as, Mexes, El Shaarawy and Boateng at San Siro, how will Pastore cope should this move materialise? Email football@teamtalkmedia.com and let us know what you think?
