Gazzetta also claims that we are willing to offer 25 million euros for Sheva as well, but he would have to lower his salary demands from 7 mill (what he is paid at Chelsea) to 5.5 million euros.

I'd say bring Pato in instead of Sheva.  |
It's really a dilemma. Both of them are really suitable for Milan from tactical point of view. Sheva could partner with Ronaldo (which makes dream comes true for Berlusconi) or Gila in a two-striker formation while Pato could accompany Kaka behind a striker, partner with Ronaldo or Gila or be used as Kaka's understudy.
The advantages of signing Pato are his a lot-younger age, much lower price and could be placed in more positions than Sheva BUT Sheva is a ready material, already world class striker who can make a diffrence in a match. Pato, no matter how brilliant he is, needs time to settle with Milan.
Seeing that we have already a decesive, world class striker on Ronaldo who can also make a good partnership with Gila and the effect of Sheva's comeback in the dressing room, I would prefer signing Pato. (But still I can't imagine, how Sheva could come back to Milan).
