Javier Pastore’s excessive wage demands could scupper his chances of signing for West Ham United.
Sky Sports has claimed that the 28-year-old is currently asking for wages up to £190,000-per-week.
West Ham are eager to bring Pastore to the Premier League and remain in talks over a £17.5 million transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.
The French club are willing to sell the Argentinian as they aim to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
Pastore previously played for Talleres and Huracan in Argentina, before signing for Palermo in 2009.
He scored 16 goals in 82 appearances for the Italian club and was regularly watched by Europe’s top clubs.
