FINALMENTE! Pato signs for Milan
Milan have eventually completed the signing of Alexandre Pato. After months of rumours the 17 year old wonder kid has completed his dream move to Milan after expressing on numerous occasions that he wanted to play alongside fellow Brazilians Kaka and Ronaldo.
The signing of Pato does come with a twist, unfortunately, as Italian laws do prohibit non-eu players from playing in Serie A when they are under the age of 17. Pato will only turn 18 on September the 2, after the transfer window closes allowing him to only play in friendlies. However he will join the Milan team and start training with them until he is allowed to make his Serie A debut in January!
The Milanisti now have a song to sing after waiting for months for Milan to make their "big name signing" and eventually it has come, even if it is in the shape of a 17 year old Brazilian that cost €14.6mil. However, some will still be worried ab
out the lack of options upfront as Milan have already seen them self hit an injury crisis with Ronie, Gila and Inzaghi all out for the Moscow tournament against PSV tonight.

I think a few more signings might have been a good idea. But, then again, why mess with the European champions...
But Milan have always found a way so who knows...
