Chelsea disappointed as Pato sees Milan as long term deal

AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato will not move to Chelsea, insisting he wants to spend at least another four seasons with the Rossoneri. Reports also suggest the 20-year-old could be on his way to Barcelona in a player-plus-cash deal for Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

However, Pato, who has been at Milan since 2007, claims he wants to see out his contract with the Serie A giants.

"My sole aim is to be ready for the restart of training with AC Milan on July 20," the Brazil international told TV eband.

"I have a contract with AC Milan until 2014 and I have every intention of respecting it.

"And in 10 years, I will return to Brazil to end my career at Internacional, the club which belongs to my heart."
