The 25-year-old wants to stay in France but is yet to be given a new deal despite of his decent performances this season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are also targeting him for the summer move, according to talkSPORT. However, the Gunners are leading the race.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is eyeing him as Raheem Sterling’s replacement who has failed to sign a new long term deal which means that the Reds will need a new winger.
Arsenal and Liverpool both will fight for his move in the summer, the French side will not sell him for less than £30million.
On the other hand, Manchester United legend Eric Cantona revealed recently that he thought Pastore was a high quality player like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo but he failed to prove himself.
