Pastorre: Neymar s sky-high signing fee of 220 million is actually not high, changing France and European football

May 29th News Former Paris Saint-Germain player Pastorre was interviewed by Le As, talking about his feelings about joining Paris and the topic of Neymar signing a contract with Paris at a sky-high price.

How did you feel when you joined Paris Saint-Germain?

Pastore: At that time, I was the most expensive player in Europe and caused a lot of sensation. But I didn't care too much because the transfer fee wasn't that important at that time. I am full of confidence in this project and become a part of the team. I like my relationship with the club very much. I was the first player to join, and the team gradually became stronger after that.

Have you ever seen the Emir of Qatar? Is he like Florentino?

Pastore: I know him. He first came to Paris often to spend time with us. This is a very ambitious project, not just buying superstars. When I joined in 2011, they showed me the roster of players I wanted to bring in. More outstanding players join each year. However, their philosophy has changed and now they focus more on young players.

What do you think about Neymar joining Paris Saint-Germain for 222 million euros?

Pastore: This is incredible. We didn't expect there would be such a transfer fee. But seeing his performance on the court, you will find that the price is actually not high. He changed French and European football and was a very special player. He is the best player I have ever worked with since Messi.

What do you think of Nasser? He has a bad reputation in Spain.

Pastore: I have a good relationship with him. He is very close to both the players and the team. He participated in almost all training and games, both at home and away. He has been working hard to bring the club to the highest level. His poor reputation in Spain may be due to his financial strength, but it is actually part of the business competition.

Can Paris Saint-Germain become a European football banner like Real Madrid and Barcelona?

Pastore: Paris Saint-Germain is already an iconic club in world football. Many top players such as Beckham, Ibrahimovic, Messi, Neymar, Mbappe, etc. have played for this. Although it has only 55 years of history, it has risen rapidly over the past decade. I believe it will continue to grow.
