Palermo's director of sport, Sean Sogliano, has revealed the club have received "interesting offers" from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain for Javier Pastore.

Interest in Pastore is thought to be high, although it now appears Chelsea and PSG are in a two-horse race for the Argentina international's signature.

Sogliano told RMC radio: "At the moment we are waiting and will make a decision in the next few days, after [Thursday's] Europa League game against Thun. We have received interesting offers from Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea."

Pastore, 22, joined Palermo from Huracan in 2009. Last season the playmaker scored 11 Serie A goals in 35 appearances, recording five assists.
