The agent of teenage sensation Alexandre Pato is in Milan for talks with both San Siro clubs, although Chelsea also want the Brazilian.

Representative Gilmar Veloz flew in to Milan this morning for negotiations, as 17-year-old Pato has set the transfer market alight with his performances for Internacional.

He has already won the Copa Libertadores and FIFA World Club Championship and was a star of the Under-20 South American Championship, won by Brazil in January.

“Pato is a young player, very young, but we are not the only important club who like him,” noted Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti on Friday.

Inter are also preparing a firm £17m bid for what many have referred to as ‘the new Kaka’, but Chelsea are in the frame too.

Chelsea also wanted Kaká back in '02-'03... I hope we get him and he becomes the next big thing! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well, though porty's post kind of turned me off, pato is much closer to Milan than the merda.

The merda already have like 6 strikers of top quality, pato wont commit suicide.

Plus .. If Milan really want him, they will get him

I wish that were true, as European Champions I thought things would be different from last season. But Abidal turned us down to move to Barca, Suazo turned us down to move to Inter and alot of top players have been heavily linked with Inter this summer.

They definetly have the pulling power over us, if they want somebody, we may as well look elsewhere. Maybe with Pato's age he'll be different, I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to sit in the reserves for 5 years.

You see .. The problem here is that we (milanfan.com) are sitting at home and reading from several sources to get a feel of what is going on, in regards to Milan. And the info that we are fed are usually the bottom line info, no details.

I mean, Suazo and Abidal look for HUGE contracts, especially since they both come from clubs that have a low salary cap. What Milan offered was what it offered to it's average team players (I know this, cuz it is what the club has been saying for the past decade). That is why they choose Inter and Barca over Milan.

But if Milan really wants a player, they will reel him in. Take a good example from Nesta, he was bound to leave, and all the top clubs were hovering around him like vultures .. Madrid and Juve were in the bidding and they probably offered him really high wages, but Milan and Berlusconi wanted him, so he is playing in Milan today (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

It doesn't take much to acknowledge this .. I mean, who are Abidal and Suazo ?! Sure they are good players (and don't get me wrong, I do rate them highly..), but they aren't world class players. What you fail to see is Milan is on the verge of building a world class team (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Sure .. They will let these buys go - referring to Abidals and Suazos- but they wont let players like Ronaldinho go by, cuz for players like Ronaldino (world class players) Milan is always first in line for them (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/devilsmiley.gif)

Maybe we are just too anxious, but be sure that this club is #1 and Europe and Berlusconi's aim is to keep it that way, no matter the odds. This is the same Silvio Berlusconi from 86 till 07 and hopefully for another decade (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)
