Paris Saint-Germain interest in AC Milan's Alexandre Pato is 'very seductive', claims agent
The representative of the Brazilian confesses his client is excited by the prospect of joining the Ligue 1 table-toppers in January, but admits any move is out of their hands
The agent of AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has revealed that the 22-year-old has been the recipient of "very seductive" interest from Paris Saint-Germain.
Gilmar Veloz, who represents the interests of Brazilian, intimated that a lucrative proposal from the Qatari-owned club could be on the horizon, and admitted that the forward is enthused by a potential transfer to the French capital.
However, he made clear that AC Milan have the final say on the matter.
"PSG are becoming a very big club. It's all very seductive, but it's not us who will decide," the representative told L'Equipe on Thursday.
"It's Milan and Adriano Galliani who will decide. We are professionals, and we will sit round a table and if its good for Milan and us, then …"
Veloz previously noted in an interview with Le 10 Sport on Wednesday that he flew out to the French capital only days ago to meet up with PSG sporting director Leonardo, but insisted that there was no talk of a switch.
"It is true, [me and Leonardo] met in Paris a few days ago," said the agent. "He is a friend of mine, but we have not talked about Pato.
"I just came to see how my friend Leo works in his role as sporting director of PSG.
"Pato has a contract with AC Milan, and for better clarification on his future you would have to ask his employer. I'd be the wrong party."
Speculation surrounding the future of Pato has become a source of great debate in recent days after he questioned coach Massimiliano Allegri's methods, which paved the way for reports to suggest a €50 million move to PSG was being lined up.
However, despite Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani dismissing the claims, the saga continues to fuel speculation.
Meanwhile, PSG are hoping to make the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as the club's new coach imminently, with former Parma and Monaco midfielder Sabri Lamouchi also being tipped to take up a role within the new-look management team.
The former Milan and Chelsea boss has reportedly agreed a two-and-a-half year contract worth €6-7 million per annum, after a meeting at Parc des Princes on Wednesday to discuss personal terms, but no official announcement is expected until the end of the week.
Veloz believes that Ancelotti and Leonardo will make a great partnership at PSG, and that David Beckham could help elevate the French side.
"Ancelotti is a great champion and Leonardo is a highly-qualified sporting director," he told L'Equipe.
"Beckham is more than just a partner who will help PSG become a very big club. All that is very tempting, but it is not us who decides."
