Pato praises Ancelotti and hints a possible move to Chelsea
Only days after he pledged his loyalty to Milan, Pato has again brought up speculation that he could possibly move to Chelsea but only if Milan decide to sell him.
‘Carlo Ancelotti is a coach and a person who is very important to me. It was he who wanted me at Milan and when I was there he helped me grow as a player,’ said Pato in an interview with Corriere della Sera.
‘I feel I owe him a lot but I have a contract with Milan and it is up to Milan to decide my future.’
Pato happy to stay at Milan
Pato has made it clear that he is happy at Milan and would like to win everything with the club.
“I am happy to stay at the club, and I do not care what other have to say. I have a contract with the Rossoneri that I will respect, and I want to win everything with them,” said Pato.
Pato also spoke about his former Rossoneri team mate Kaka.
“I have spoken with him several times over the past few days, and he seems very happy to be going to Real Madrid,” added Pato.
John Terry calls for Pato to Chelsea
The news that Alexandre Pato might be at Chelsea next season has been well received by the England and Chelsea skipper John Terry.
After speaking to David Beckham and his former teammate Shevchenko, John Terry he calling for every effort to land the Brazilian striker.
‘I heard great things in conversation with them (Beckham and Shevchenko). They said that Pato is a great player, so it will be very good if Chelsea hired him. I was pleased to learn that he wants to talk with the new coach (Carlo Ancelotti). Chelsea want to hire the best players in the world and I am sure the fans too. And Pato is definitely one of those players. He is fantastic,’ said Terry.
The good relationship that Carlo Ancelotti has with Alexandre Pato may make this move possible but fans will have to wait until after the Confederation Cup in South Africa.
