Pato wants Milan return
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Alexandre Pato admits that he misses the times he spent at Milan: “Of course, how could I not. We are talking about 150 games, 63 goals, one Scudetto and a Supercoppa. It would be a dream to return to AC Milan, which remains in my heart“.
Obviously Pato is asked if he would return to wear the Rossoneri jersey to become Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s back-up. His answers in positive and the 31-year-old believes he could be much more than be a simple alternative to Ibrahimovic. “I would say yes, what’s the problem? But I wouldn’t go to be a back-up. I would play, a couple of games would be enough to convince the coach. Let’s say that maybe with Ibra we could play together. We would be a great duo”.
Pato said that Ibrahimovic is a source of inspiration for what he can do at 39. The Brazilian also praised Stefano Pioli, the coach who is doing great things with the Rossoneri. “Luckily the club trusted him. He knows how to manage Ibra, the whole group, relations with the club. Dreaming of the Scudetto is legitimate. Pioli is the right coach for a Milan that will go a long way. If he wants, he can call me…“.
The 31-year-old striker revealed that he is still in contact with Paolo Maldini, with whom he was a teammate. Nevertheless, it looks like the Rossoneri are not considering the candidacy of Pato with Mario Mandzukic set to become a new Milan player very soon.
