Milan To Unveil Pato Against Napoli Milan fans need only wait a week longer before they finally get their first taste of one of the most hyped youngsters in Serie A history, Alexandre Pato.
The Brazilian teenage sensation is set to make his Milan debut against Napoli on January 13th, when the season recommences from its winter break. He was officially signed from Internacional on August 2007, for a whopping fee of 22m euro, but has been prevented from making his full team debut due to technicalities stemming from Italian football regulations that state non-EU minors may not be registered in Italy
"Pato should not have any problem to be on the pitch against Napoli," confirmed Rossoneri boss Carlo Ancelotti from Milan’s Dubai training camp.
"I think that the bureaucratic matters will resolve themselves in time,†he added.
Pato is widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in world football for a number of years and many are expecting him to explode onto the scene.
Brazil national team coach Carlos Dunga is certainly a believer, comparing the 18-year-old to a young Ronaldo, while Milan supremo Silvio Berlusconi has taken the hype to a whole new level by claiming that Pato could score 30 goals before June if he keeps playing like he does at practice.
