Pato would only leave Milan for Barcelona
Table of Contents
Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato has revealed that he would play for Barcelona should he ever leave AC Milan.
The 21-year-old, who is viewed as one of the best young strikers in the game, has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Chelsea and Manchester City interested in securing his services.
However, Pato has distanced himself from the reports, claiming that the only club he would leave the San Siro for is Barcelona.
Pato told German newspapers: "I am honoured by City's interest, but I am a Milan player and I'm happy here.
"If one day I do leave Milan, I'd like to wear the Barcelona jersey. I think I'd only leave Milan for Barcelona."
This fuels already-existing reports that Barcelona have already secured an option on Pato, as part of the deal that took Zlatan Ibrahimović to Milan in the summer.
