Swedish press reporting that Zlatan, who's been a revelation for Milan, doesn't want to play with Pato.
Basically he feels that they're incompatible. Pato is reportedly considered fourth choice striker now.

I don't have much of an insight into Italian football but I'm guessing that these are rumors.

Anyway, how much do you think he'd cost us?

And is he worth the gamble?
 
If Pato is available, that would be insanity ... He is a phenomenal talent ... And I don't think he's 21 yet ...
 
According to the article, sources in Milan are saying that they want get rid of Pato in the summer and buy Balotelli.

So, dream dead Pato - Balotelli swap in the summer.
 
From the BBC snippet, I thought Zlatan's comments were about Balotelli... although they did reckon he played for Inter, so yeah.

Pato seems like a bit of a frustrating player. He's not blossomed into the superstar that everyone expected.

it's obvious the talent is there, but he doesn't dominate games lie he should. He certainly is an odd player
 
AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has admitted he would prefer a better relationship with coach Massimiliano Allegri, suggesting all is not well for the striker at the San Siro.

Pato, who has been linked with a move to England for much of the year, concedes he could get on better with his coach.

Fresh reports have emerged linking him with a January switch to ambitious Paris St Germain, giving the player's words in Corriere dello Sport even greater weight.

"I would like to have a more direct relationship with Allegri,'' he told the newspaper. "I won't say much more. If he thinks it is right to criticise me, then I have to keep my head down and work. I have to respect what the coach says.

"But the fact remains that if he has seen something wrong with my game then he should come to me directly so we can discuss it.''

SIGN HIM UP! A player who would make all of us, Ryan included, happy.
 
Would love to sign him, but Doesnt score enough goals and is an injury waiting to happen. Also read he's one of Berlusconis favourite players and is currently datinghis daughter....

His goal against Barca was immense though. Loved it!
 
He's wasted in Italy, I think he'd flourish in a quicker paced league. I'd love for us to sign him

He's not English and not shit, so there's no chance.

Yeah that Uruguayan fella we signed last January is fucking shit too, right?
 
Alexandre Pato's agent has appeared on Radio RTL with Eric Froisio and confirmed that a bid has been received for the player and that his client is keen on a move.

Speaking on the French radio station, he said: "There is an offer from PSG. He is happy with it but, it now depends on Milan."

Only yesterday it was reported that a €50 million bid had been tabled by the Parisien side in order to tempt the Brazilian to the Parc des Princes.

Alexandre Pato’s agent has admitted contact with Paris Saint-Germain, but underlined that Milan will decide the player’s future.

The French giants have been linked with a €50m bid for the striker after he admitted to problems with Rossoneri boss Massimiliano Allegri earlier this week.

The links only intensified after reports emerged that the player’s representative, Gilmar Veloz, met with PSG director Leonardo this week.

“Yes, we met in Paris,” Veloz told Le 10 Sport in an interview. “But Leonardo is my friend and he received me as such.

“It's one thing to come and see a friend who works at Paris SG and another to see a sporting director…

Did we talk about Pato? You know, we work in football so we talked about football. We are not in the film industry and I do not work with actors.

“We talked about current events, players, Pato and Paris too.
However, Pato has a contract with Milan and, for better clarification on his future, you would have to ask his employer.

“I'd be the wrong party. Alexandre Pato has a contract and it is Milan who decide.

Pato, 22, is liked by officials in France given that Leonardo helped the Rossoneri sign him. He also bossed him with the Rossoneri.

PSG are expected to announce Carlo Ancelotti, another tactician who worked with Pato at San Siro, as their new Coach at some stage over the next few days.

Ancelotti will reportedly sign a contract until 2014, worth somewhere in the region of €6m per campaign.
 
50 mill for Pato. PSG are going to struggle with the FFP at this rate. Wasnt it 40 mill for Pastore aswell.
 
I'm not optimistic about FFP. As some journalists questioned, can UEFA afford to kick out the likes of Man City and PSG while ending up with the likes of APOEL FC (no offence) competing in the CL for the coming yrs - the sponsorship, interest from fans etc.

They're probably more concerned about winning Ligue 1 first and worry later (if there's ever a need to).

I'm sure you would. Doesn't mean it *can't* happen though.

You don't have to be incredibly pessimistic all the time.
 
Pato has stated previously that there is very little dialog between Allegri and himself.

As pointed out, Ibrahimovic has also stated that he feels the two cannot form a good partnership on the pitch.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out now. Pato is like a son to Berlusconi, and he is also dating Berlusconi's daughter.

Pato to PSG?

This could happen ... especially if his former manager Ancelotti takes the reigns as rumoured.

Balotelli to Milan? It would take an epic bid from Milan to prise him away from Man City ...

If Pato moves to PSG then I think a more realistic option for Milan will be to sign Tevez. There seems to be much more support from the current Milan squad to sign Tevez instead of Balotelli - KP Boateng in particular.

If Milan can grab Tevez and then finally finalise a deal for Hamsik in the off season - they will have one hell of a side next season.

I don't think Milan sets the premisses in a swap between those two clubs.
