The Argentina international has long been linked with a move away from Palermo.
“Bringing him to Italy when I worked at Palermo is one of my biggest successes. He has really made an impact in Serie A. He’s a very special player, but he will not move to Roma this summer,” Sabatini told Il Corriere dello Sport.
“I have already said it before that Roma have made a big coup on the transfer market. [Erik] Lamela can do for Roma what Pastore has done for Palermo in the past two seasons.”
