Highly coveted Brazil starlet Alexandre Pato has announced that he will make a decision on his future by next week.
Likened in style to AC Milan goldenboy Kaka, the prodigiously talented 17-year-old is considered the next big thing to come out of Brazil. As a result, the likes of AC Milan, Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea are all competing over his signature, and one of these uberclubs is set to get August off to a very good start if Pato opts for them.
"My agent will be the first person to know what I have decided and I will tell him that in a week," said Pato, who currently stars for Brazilian club Internacional.
There were recently quotes attributed to his agent Gilmar Veloz claiming that his client, nicknamed ‘The Duck’, already had his mind set on Real, but his latest comments on the matter where decidedly ambiguous.
"For the moment the only thing that I can say is that Pato has already dismissed some of the teams that have sent him proposals.” Veloz told Radio Gaucha.
“He told me that after speaking with his parents he will decide which team he will play for and that decision will come from what is best for his family and for his career.”
A princely sum of €25m is being touted for the rights to buy the teenage sensation, as that represents the buyout clause on his contract with Internacional.
