Milan come out and shoot liao. 
AC Milan have denied reports they are in
talks with Chelsea over Alexandre Pato and have reiterated their
stance that he is "non transferable".
Pato has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, now
managed by former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, all summer and the
Rossoneri turned down a "monster offer" for the Brazil forward over
a month ago.
Fresh reports today suggested Chelsea were close to sealing a
deal for Pato, which would see the Premier League club shell out
52million euros (£44million) and loan the 19-year-old back to Milan
for the upcoming season.
However, the Rossoneri have dismissed the story outright with a
statement on their website.
It read: "With regards to the rumours circulated this morning by
the English press, AC Milan clarify and reaffirm that there are no
negotiations ongoing with Chelsea regarding Alexandre Pato, and
that the player is absolutely non transferable."
Pato, who is under contract until June 2012, finished as Milan's
second highest scorer behind Kaka in Serie A last season with 15
goals in 36 appearances.
It is unlikely the Rossoneri would be swayed by a huge offer
having already cashed in around 65million euros from the sale of
Kaka to Real Madrid at the beginning of the summer.
