Coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed that Milan are interested in Alexandre Pato of Internacional, also a reported target for Chelsea.
The 17-year-old, who won the Copa Libertadores and the FIFA World Club Championship last year, is a fast and technical striker and corresponds exactly to what the Rossoneri are looking for.
“Pato is a young player, very young, but we are not the only important club who like him,” Ancelotti told Sky Italia.
“He is considered by many the new Kaka? Let’s not exaggerate…,” added the Coach.
Pato, who impressed in the Under-20 South American Championship in January, which was won by the Selecao, is contracted to Internacional until 2009 and is reportedly valued at £10m.
Samuel Eto’o is also still being paired with a San Siro switch, despite the reiterated denials that he might leave Barcelona.
“Eto’o is a very important player. In any case, if we make any new signings it will be for the upfront department, in defence and in the midfield we are fine,” concluded Ancelotti.
Meanwhile, the Rossoneri have captured 16-year-old striker Mitja Novinic, who will join the European champions from Nafta Lendava.
Novinic is the second signing this summer, after the return of Ibrahim Ba on a one-year contract.
