West Ham are unwilling to match Javier Pastore’s staggering wage demands, claims Sky Sports.
Pastore has emerged as a top transfer target for the Hammers this summer following Manuel Pellegrini’s appointment last month.
The former Manchester City manager wants to bolster his offensive options this summer to ease the burden on club-record signing Marko Arnautovic.
Pastore has endured an injury hit last few years and looks set to leave PSG this summer, as the French champions try to balance their books.
Thomas Tuchel’s side may have to sell some big name players this summer to offset Neymar and Kylian Mbappe’s arrival 12 months ago.
West Ham are interested in taking advantage of this situation but Pastore’s £190,000-a-week wage demands means a potential deal unlikely.
The Argentina international was not selected for the 2018 World Cup after only managing 25 appearances in Ligue 1 last season.
Despite only starting on 14 occasions in that time, the 28-year-old still managed a direct hand in nine goals for the French champions (four goals, five assists).
