Roma reach agreement to terminate Pastore’s contract

The
Argentine
midfielder
has
been
plagued
by
injuries
since
joining
the
Serie
A
club
from
Paris
Saint-Germain
for
€24.7million
in
June
2018.

Pastore
underwent
left
hip
surgery
12
months
ago
and
played
just
five
times
for
the
Giallorossi
last
season.

The
playmaker
made
only
37
appearances
during
his
time
with
the
club,
scoring
four
goals,
and
the
32-year-old
is
now
free
to
find
a
new
club.

The
club
can
confirm
that
an
agreement
has
been
reached
with
Javier
Pastore
for
the
mutual
termination
of
his
contract.

Everyone
at

#ASRoma
would
like
to
wish
Javier
the
best
of
luck
for
the
future.

“It
is
not
easy
for
me
to
leave
this
club,
the
city
and
these
fans
with
the
awareness
of
not
being
able
to
meet
the
expectations
that
they
had
for
me.

“Anyone
who
knows
me
knows
how
much
I
have
suffered
and
with
what
commitment
I
have
worked
to
try
to
overturn
my
destiny.

“Ours
was
not
a
lucky
story,
but
in
leaving
I
also
feel
that
I
have
kept
intact
a
feeling
of
respect
and
gratitude
towards
this
city
and
towards
the
people
who
three
years
ago
welcomed
me
with
love
and
enthusiasm.

“I
hope
you
will
soon
be
able
to
celebrate
great
successes:
Roma,
Roma
and
their
fans
deserve
them.”

Roma
made
it
two
wins
from
as
many
Serie
A
games
under
Jose
Mourinho
by
thrashing
Salernitana
4-0
in
Serie
A
on
Sunday.

Lorenzo
Pellegrini
scored
twice,
with
Jordan
Veretout
and
new
signing
Tammy
Abraham
also
on
target,
ensuring
Roma
have
scored
at
least
seven
goals
in
their
first
two
Serie
A
matches
for
just
the
second
time
since
the
1970s,
having
defeated
Fiorentina
3-1
in
their
opener.
