The 21-year-old Argentinian ace continues to be linked with a summer exit despite president Maurizio Zamparini claiming he would stay another year as recently as last week.
However, Pastore admits his club are likely to consider any forthcoming offer, leaving the Spanish clubs to show their buying power.
“The president admires me and he likes me a lot,” Pastore told La Nacion when quizzed about his future.
“He does his job and wants to sell me at the best possible price.”
Pastore also moved to play down talk comparisons betwen him and Blaugrana star Lionel Messi.
“It’s a fact that I lose when people compare me to Messi as he is the best in the world.”
Speculation earlier in the season suggested the Rosanero might hold out for up to €70 million before accepting the loss of Pastore.
