Juventus, Inter and Milan are ready to battle it out on the transfer market for Alexandre Pato of Porto Alegre.

The 17-year-old is seen by many as the new Kaka and he’s admitted that a Serie A switch is a desire of his.

“I know that Milan, Juventus and Inter are following me,” said the South American starlet.

“I feel that I am ready to undertake a European adventure and therefore the interest of these important clubs flatters me.

“I always follow Italian football on television and my dream is to play in Italy.

“I would like to become the new Ronaldo – perhaps I will follow the career of the many Brazilian players who have won so much with Milan...”

Pato is contracted to Internacional until 2009 and is currently valued at £10m, with reports suggesting that a £7m offer from Milan has already been rejected.

Juventus are understood to be in a favourable position to net the attacker as his agent is Gilmar Veloz, who is also the representative of former Juve ace Emerson.

Pato won the Copa Libertadores last year and 2006 FIFA World Club Championship by defeating Barcelona in the Final.

He also impressed in the recent U-20 South American Championship in Paraguay, which was won by the Selecao.

He looks very promising (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

We're def' not signing a kid for that price.

Let's see... I hope he comes!

Players like this now , specially after kaka , have had high prices ( like Fernando Gago and Gonzalo Higuain for real madrid ) , we cant let him go , specially after arriving of ronaldo ( and being kaka and maybe ronaldinho here ) , it seems that he likes to play for milan , he talks about milan ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, so we must buy him ,

I don't know if the kid is worth it. He has a lot of skill true, but tough to find out where he fits in. But I do know for sure, if we do buy him, it will be a great addition to the squad. He reminds me of the old Ronaldo. But he still isn't a playmaking forward.

Yep, what Jack said... why do they label him as the next Kaka?? From what I've seen he's a forward...

Ronaldo can mature him ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Obviously he's a foward not a "new-Kaka'".

He's +/- a SS.

what will happen when we have :

kaka ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ronaldinho

ronaldo ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, pato

and more dreamy Adriano

Adriano is a no no

Creating the same attacking line that bombed in the WC is not such a good idea imo (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

we can create so many options in mix with other players in our team , to make a distance from an absolute brazilian formula 1

we must notice that : brasil in WC hit from its lack of motivation in coach and some of its players

Yeah, and then we'll change our colors to the yellow/green (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
