MILAN:
AC Milan are still hoping to keep at least one of their two unsettled Brazilian strikers, Alexandre Pato and Robinho, according to club president Silvio Berlusconi.
Pato is involved in negotiations for a move to world club champions Corinthians and Robinho has also been the subject of speculation over a return home with his former club Santos among the contenders. “I hope that only one of them leaves,” Berlusconi told Radio Lombardia.
“I’m especially sorry about Pato because until he started this incredible sequence of injuries, he was Milan’s number one player for the future, a true champion.” Brazilian media have reported that Pato has agreed terms to join Corinthians in a deal that is expected to be finalised on Thursday.
