Pato temped to join Chelsea

AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has hinted he could make a move to join up with former boss Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea this summer.

“It’s an honour for me to be appreciated by a club like Chelsea,” Pato told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“However, I will first talk to Ancelotti, then I will meet with Milan officials. My future will be clearer at the end of June.”

AC Milan have already sold Kaka to Real Madrid for a reported €65million and will be desperate to hold onto Pato this summer.

Pato continued: “I hope Kaka will be happy in Madrid, but I can’t wish him to win the Champions League. I want to win that!

“We will lose so much from his departure, but Milan are not just Kaka. We have a great group and we have a phenomenon in the form of Ronaldinho.

“Is [owner Silvio] Berlusconi saying I will stay put? As I said, nothing has been decided yet. I want to speak with Ancelotti. He is an amazing man. He helped me emerge at Milan and in Italian football. Before deciding my future I want to talk to him.”
