Paris Saint-Germain have made Lionel Messi a top transfer target "every year", claims Javier Pastore, with the former star at Parc des Princes once charged with the task of trying to lure his fellow countryman to France.
Pastore, one of the first marquee additions of the QSI era in Paris, was successful in talking Angel di Maria into making a move to Ligue 1, when the forward was looking for a way out of Manchester United in 2015.
Messi though proved to be out of reach, despite every effort being made to prise the six-time Ballon d'Or winner away from Barcelona.
