 Alexandre Pato
Alexandre Rodrigues da Silva (born September 2, 1989, in Pato Branco, Paraná), better known as Alexandre Pato, is a Brazilian striker currently playing for Italian club A.C. Milan.
European champions A.C. Milan officially confirmed the signing of Pato on August 2, 2007.[2] The transfer fee paid amounts to the minimum fee clause in Pato's contract with SC Internacional for €22 million.
Due to Italian football regulations regarding non-EU minors, Pato was unable to play official matches for Milan until January 3, 2008, when the Italian transfer window and registration reopened.
However, AC Milan was allowed to include the player in friendlies and training beginning September 3, 2007, one day after his 18th birthday.
Pato made his non-competitive debut in a 2–2 draw against Dynamo Kiev on September 7, 2007 and scored a header. On January 4, 2008, Pato's transfer to Milan became official.
