Palermo have not received any offers so far for Argentina midfielder Javier Pastore, according to club president Maurizio Zamparini.

The highly-rated playmaker is a target of several top European clubs, with Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona reportedly all in the race to sign the 21-year-old.

"We haven't even received half an offer for Pastore," Zamparini told Corriere dello Sport.

Zamparini also denied reports that French giants Paris St Germain have shown an interest in the South American, who is valued at €50million.

"I am not aware of that," Zamparini said. "We will see Javier's agent today.

"It's not difficult to sell him, in fact it's very easy, but you just have to know which club to sell him to."

Pastore joined Palermo in 2009 from Huracan for 19million euros and was the team's leading scorer in Serie A this season with 11 goals.

He is under contract with Palermo until June 2015.
