AS Roma are delighted to confirm the signing of attacking midfielder Javier Pastore on a permanent transfer.

Pastore, 29, joins the Giallorossi from French champions Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of €24.7 million.

The Argentina international has signed a five-year contract with the club that runs until 30 June 2023.

Pastore will wear the No. 27 shirt.

"I am very happy to be here at Roma," Pastore said. "It is great to return to Italy, and to do it with such a great club.

"I hope to repay in full all the enthusiasm, support and affection that Roma fans have shown me already."

A creative, flamboyant midfielder blessed with fluid close control and an eye-for-a-pass, Pastore has long been regarded as one of the most gifted attacking players in European football.

He joined PSG in 2011, going on to make over 250 appearances for the club in all competitions.

His trophy haul with the club was impressive: winning Ligue 1 five times, the Coupe de France four times, and both the French Super Cup and French League Cup five times.
