Emery: Pastore hasn't asked to leave PSG

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery denied midfielder Javier Pastore has asked to leave the Ligue 1 giants.

Before PSG's 3-1 win over Caen, Pastore's agent Marcelo Simonian claimed Wednesday's Ligue 1 fixture could be the 28-year-old's last for the club.

Pastore – contracted until 2019 – has only started eight games this season, scoring four goals amid reports of a move away in January.

"I'm very pleased with Pastore," Emery said post-match.

"He did not say he wanted to leave. He works to be on the field, with the very great talent he has.
