QUOTE AC Milan Go Duck Hunting The Rossoneri are homing in on an Inter player for next season, although the Inter in question isn’t Milan arch-rival Internazionale but Internacional de Porto Alegre. 17 year-old revelation Alexandre Pato (Duck) is the target. Umberto Gandini, AC Milan’s sporting director, confirmed that the Italian giant is tracking the young Brazilian. â€We’re accompanying the development of the player. He scored a nice gaol during the week in the Club World Cup and we’ll be watching him against Barcelona too.†“After that then we’ll make the appropriate move according to what our spotters inform us, but there has been no approach made to Internacional as of yet and there isn’t a planned date either. We follow a lot of playersâ€, he explained to Brazilian paper ’O Estado de São Paulo’. Milan are still feeling somewhat orphaned by the exit of Shevchenko, now struggling to recover superstar status at Mourinho’s dog-eat-dog Chelsea, and Ricardo Oliveira has failed to live up to either Carlo Ancelotti or the Rossoneri faithful’s expectations. The only problem is that with a price tag of $20 million this Duck may be a little too rich for Gandini’s blood. Goal.com |

A 17 yo score in the WCC and the rumours start... he's way too young and Milan is not going for him, that's quite obvious.

Milan Ready $15 Million Bid For Duck?
Porto Alegre’s latest sensation, Internacional striker Alexandre Pato, appears to be in the crosshairs of Italian giants AC Milan. According to information published in both Brazil and Italy the Rossoneri could be willing to invest $15 million in the youngster. A Milan spotter covering the current South American Under-20 tournament in Paraguay has wired home highly favourable reports on the 17 year-old Brazilian. Pato (‘Duck’ due to his home town of Pato Branco; ‘White Duck’) came to prominence just before the recent FIFA CWC win. The Colorado club are looking at Dagoberto (Atlético-PR) or ex-local lad Nilmar, currently in a legal wrangle with Corinthians, to fill any resulting gap if the Brazilians respond favourably to an offer. AC Milan have confirmed that they are interested in the player, but… "We are following him with interest, after the final with Barcelona we will decide about moving for himâ€, commented Umberto Gandini, the Rossoneri sporting director in Japan before Xmas. The same source repeated the budding interest recently but added a caveat that “the only problem is that the boy does not have a European passport." Is it worth making space at Milan for a Duck? goal.com |

he is a really good player, i`ve been watching him since the copa libertadores against sao paulo, and i can say that milan should get him now, i don´t care the price (i guess we have some money after shevchenko´s sale) beside that he´s playing in every game with brasil under 20 and with inter (portoalegre), that tells you something.

I was thinking for next 15 years!!
It seems we don't bring players who have not passed 30! I just know I DON'T want to see him playing alongside Ronaldinho in Barca! that would be disaster. |

QUOTE Brazilian superkid Pato drops big AC Milan hint tribalfooball.com - March 26, 2007 Internacional de Porto Alegre starlet Alexandre Pato admits AC Milan striker Ronaldo is his role-model. "Ronaldo is spectacular and knows how to score goals in important games," the 17 year-old told Gazzetta dell Sport. "I also like Romario, who definitely deserves his 1000 goals. "I know Italian clubs are following me, but I prefer to concentrate on playing well for Internacional. "I have no preference. I only want to join a big club where I can enjoy my football. I like Ronaldo, but also Andriy Shevchenko." I personally don't see this as a big AC Milan hint, but he does keep dropping small ones now and then that would lead you to believe that his choice would be the Italian league if he were to move to Europe and most importantly that he would choose Milan This post has been edited by han2503: Mar 26 2007, 12:05 PM |
