Javier Pastore has downplayed suggestions that he is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain for Real Madrid.

Carlo Ancelotti is a known admirer of the Argentina international, but Pastore has made it clear there is nothing to the rumours claiming he is on his way to the Santiago Bernabeu outfit.

"There are always rumours in the press. I briefly talked about Real Madrid with my agent, but there is nothing to it," Pastore told Mundo Deportivo.

"Ancelotti is one of the coaches who has been following me since I was young. He wanted me at Chelsea as well.

"Could he make a push for me? Maybe... He knows me and wanted me before, but he has not personally told me that he wants me at Madrid."
