ROME (AP) Roma has signed attacking Argentine midfielder Javier Pastore from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Serie A club says on Tuesday it paid PSG 24.5 million euros ($28.6 million) for the 29-year-old Pastore, who has signed a five-year contract.

It is a return to Italy for Pastore, who spent two years at Palermo before joining PSG in 2011.

Roma sporting director Monchi says: ''In my career as a sporting director I have signed a lot of players, but Javier might just be the one with the most talent.''

The duo joined from Inter Milan for a combined total of 14 million euros ($16.3 million) with Radja Nainggolan moving the other way in a deal which values the Belgium international at 38 million euros ($44.3 million).

Nainggolan has signed a four-year contract at Inter, where he will reunite with former Roma coach Luciano Spalletti.
