Pastore offers, Neymar No.10 shirt at PSG

Javier Pastore is willing to give up the No.10 shirt at Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar as a welcoming gift if a record-breaking move is made.

The Brazil international is closing in on a €222 million switch to the French capital from Barcelona after telling the club he wants to leave and bidding farewell to his team-mates.

Neymar, 25, currently wears 11 at Camp Nou, but is the undisputed 10 for his country.

That jersey will be waiting for him at PSG if he wishes to take it, with Pastore prepared to step aside and do all he can to help a big-money acquisition to settle and feel comfortable in new surroundings.

The Argentine playmaker told Cadena Ser: "I want to offer my shirt to Neymar as a welcome act. I want him to feel comfortable and happy from day one.

Should the Samba star join Unai Emery's ranks, he will form part of a star-studded squad which includes many fellow countrymen - including Thiago Silva, Dani Alves, Marquinhos and Lucas Moura.
