So, when asked about the possibility of a move from Chelsea to Madrid in the summer, Pastore downplayed it, saying:

“A lot of things are being said… but the truth is, nothing’s really happening. He’s focused on finishing strong at Chelsea.

“It’s true he’s made some comments that weren’t entirely appropriate at the time, but he didn’t say anything out of the ordinary. He simply talked about Madrid, which he really likes.”
