Brazilian sensation Alexandre Pato has insisted he does
not mind which club he joins.
Chelsea have been linked with the 17-year-old Internacional player
and were reportedly closing in on a deal last week.
However, Internazionale and Milan are also understood to be
monitoring Pato's progress and he admits he is equally fond of both
English and Italian football
Although Pato is adamant he has not set his heart on one particular
club, he does accept that joining Milan's growing band of
Brazilians would be very appealing.
"I must say the truth is I have no preference," Pato told Gazzetta
dello Sport.
"For me it is important to make the jump towards a great European
club.
"England and Italy are the same. Of the rest I cannot judge.
"If I went to Milan I would find a beautiful group of Brazilians
and it would be beautiful to play with people such as Kaka and
Ronaldo."
Ronaldo is a particular hero of Pato's but the teenager is modest
about comparisons that have been made between him and the
talismanic striker.
Pato explained: "Ronaldo has been my idol since I was a child. At
17 he was an absolute star, whereas I must still learn a lot.
"I watch Ronaldo and Kaka on television and use them on the
PlayStation.
"I often choose Milan but also Chelsea, Barcelona and Inter."
