AC Milan star Alexandre Pato is going public in his desire to rejoin former coach Carlo Ancelotti in the EPL at Chelsea. It is just another instance of the fallout from the Kaka transfer to Real Madrid. The young Pato notched 18 goals for AC Milan last year and is only 19 years of age. It is believed he would command a transfer fee in the £45m range.
Pato told the Daily Mail: ''Carlo Ancelotti is very important to me, both as a coach and a person. It was him who wanted Milan to sign me, and he has developed me as a player. I feel a sense of owing him a great deal. 'I have a contract with Milan, and it is down to them to decide about my future. But I would be interested if Ancelotti were to call on me to join Chelsea.''
Carlo Ancelotti is on the prowl for new players. Another rumoured AC Milan player on the way to Chelsea is Andrea Pirlo, but Milan is saying they have received no offers for the Italian playmaker and also say there is no way they will let Pirlo go.
On the way out at Chelsea appears to be stud outside back Jose Bosingwa who looks to be heading to Bayern Munich. Bosingwa was levied a suspension of four UEFA club competition matches for his behavior following the Champions League semifinal loss to Barca.
