Prospective Barcelona President Sandro Rosell is reportedly promising to bring Alexandre Pato to the club, if he wins the race to take over at Camp Nou.

Former Nike supremo Rosell is set to challenge for the Barcelona presidency in September, and as is always the case in these Spanish-style contests, challengers make pledges over which players they will sign if they get in power.

Rosell, who aims to rebuild Barca following two trophyless years, has stated that he will sign "a star not fully established, but someone who will excite the Nou Camp", and it is believed that this player is AC Milan wonderkid Alexandre Pato.

Pato is widely regarded as one of the best young talents in world football, and he has had a stunning start to life in Serie A after arriving from Internacional in Brazil, scoring nine goals in just 19 games since debuting for Milan in January this year.

Milan are highly unlikely to ever consider a sale, and indeed there are reports that they have become angered by Rosell’s intentions.

why can't a president just say, "i'll make this team better" instead of straining every relationship imaginable. amazing
