Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Javier Pastore said he was "grateful to clubs for seeking me out" over the summer, but stressed that he was happy in the French capital.

Pastore, 26, said he had never had any intention of leaving the Parc des Princes during the transfer window, having signed a contract extension in June.

The Argentina international told ESPN FC Argentina radio 107.9: "There was talk of Juventus because they had made an approach.

"But there was no intention on the part of PSG to sell me -- nor was there any intention on my part to leave.

"I am very grateful to the clubs for seeking me out, but at this time I am doing very well right here."
