AC Milan director Ariedo Braida has said that Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato will stay with the Rossoneri, despite reports linking him with a move to Chelsea.
The 20 year-old is in his third season at the San Siro, having signed from Brazilian side Internacional. He is enjoying a good campaign with AC Milan, having scored 14 goals in 28 appearances so far. Chelsea has been linked to Pato for some time, who averages one goal every two games during his entire AC Milan career.
There is reportedly a new financial reality at the San Siro which includes a maximum 4 million Euro salary for any player. AC Milan’s budgetary requirements fuelled rumours that the sale of an asset such as Pato is likely if the right offer is made.
Chelsea reportedly offered €45 million for the striker last summer and Real Madrid have also been said to show an interest. But AC Milan director Ariedo Braida told Italian website Tutto Mercato that rumours of Pato's exit are false.
Braida said, “Those stories that the Press are writing are only fantasies.
“It's useless to repeat once again that he is happy here in Milan and that there are no problems.
“Pato will not leave Milan.”
