Pato’s future at Milan has been of much speculation over the past couple of months. He has been linked with Chelsea, Manchester City, and even Barcelona. The latest news in Europe is the possibility of a move to PSG. Gilmar Veloz who is Pato’s agent, has revealed that he has been in Paris to meet up with his good friend Leonardo. Leonardo who was technical director and coach at Milan is aware of the talent that Pato can bring to his club and with the money he now has behind him, he can make it possible.

Although, Gilmar Veloz is aware that the player is still a Milan player and its up to Milan to decide if he stays or leaves in January.

“It is true, [me and Leonardo] met in Paris a few days ago,” said the agent. “He is a friend of mine, but we have not talked about Pato.

“I just came to see how my friend Leo works in his role as sporting director of PSG.

“Pato has a contract with AC Milan and, for better clarification on his future, you would have to ask his employer. I’d be the wrong party.”

The Qatari owned PSG have apparently secured a deal with David Beckham and Carlo Ancelotti and with a figure of around €50 million for Pato it will be no surprise if Pato packs his bags for a move to Paris in January.

AC Milan held a Christmas Party to celebrate the festive season. The players, coaching staff and sponsors were all invited to mingle and spend some time off the pitch. Pato arrived in style so did Pippo, Ibrahimovic, Boateng, Nesta and Aquilani.

The team will be heading to Dubai in two weeks for the Emirates Cup and they may be travelling with a new team member if Galliani is successful signing Carlos Tevex

This must be worrying for the team though, as they already have a long injury list. Fans will be worrying as well, having to distract themselves from thinking about the problems faced by the team, with things like partypoker and television programs. AC Milan currently sit in 14th position in the league table after only picking up two points from their first three games. They will be wanting to rectify this, and will be hoping that Pato recovers soon.

The total of 12 injured players is being blamed for the team’s poor performance of late. Adriano Galliana, the vice-president of AC Milan has made it clear that he believes the club can recover from this set-back, and that it is only a matter of time and recovery. He sees victory in the future and is confident that the team will be able to get past this.

As well as Pato, other injured AC Milan players include strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho and Kevin-Prince Boateng, mid-fielders Gennaro Gattuso, Mathieu Flamini and Massino Ambrosini as well as defenders Philippe Mexes, Daniele Bonara and Luca Antonini. This means that coach Massimiliano Allegri will be forced to combine Stephan El Shaarawy with Antonio Cassano on the field in attack.

Hopefully this state of affairs will not last long for the team. They will be doing everything they can for the injured players and surely it is only a matter of time before they are back on track.

Antonio Cassano recently joined Milan after falling out with management at Sampdoria. The striker who has not been a regular starter commented on his new team mate Pato.

“Pato is the strongest of all, I told him this,” he told Il Corriere dello Sport. “Only one player is greater than him, Messi. Both would complement each other and it would be exceptional to see them in the same team.”

It would be great to have Messi at Milan but with his immense buy-out clause, I can’t see that happening.

Pato scores an excellent goal to give Milan the win against Sampdoria.

Alexandre Pato has been linked before rich Premier League clubs in the past and this time its no different. In the summer he was linked with Chelsea and Real Madrid. This time round the ultra rich Manchester City are ready to make a €65 million bid to land Alexandre Pato. The club is also ready to give up Adebayor to seal the deal.

However, don’t get too excited or dissapointed yet as the news has come from scandal newspaper “News of the World.” Secondly, Manchester City have failed twice in a bid to land teammate Ronaldinho and former teammate Kaka.

Although we can not dismiss Manchester City’s 40 year old billionaire Arab owner, Sheikh Mansour, who has spent hundreds of millions of pounds on transfers including Carlos Tevez, Robinho, David Silva, Santa Cruz, Patrick Vieira, Kolo Touré, Yaya Touré, Balotelli and many more and expects to win silverware

Alexandre Pato celebrates his 21st birthday today and has done for the past four years with Milan. At a tender age of 17, when he joined Milan. Pato has grown into an icon and an important player in Milan and in Italy. He has developed into one of the best strikers in the world and also been flexible with the roles that he has been assigned, which shows his maturity over the years. Happy birthday Pato and great work, keep it up and hope you win it all this year.
