Chelsea owner Abramovich assures Ancelotti over £60M Pato offer

Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti held transfer talks with Blues owner Roman Abramovich yesterday in Nice.

Corriere dello Sport says the meeting was held on one of Abramovich's yachts and Ancelotti spoke to the Russian in English.

The pair talked about Ancelotti's plans for new signing Ross Turnbull, the Middlesbrough goalkeeper, and also the imminent arrival of CSKA Moscow winger Yuri Zhirkov.

Abramovich also assured Ancelotti he would do everything he could to prise Alexandre Pato away from AC Milan. Indeed, the billionaire is willing to go as high as £60 MILLION for the Brazilian striker.

Pato is a grt striker bt 60mil 4 a 19yr old who has no individual awards is crazy. I should hv gne 4 Aguero bt his wage dmands is absurd. He is only 21 n wants 2 be d highest paid 200,000 per week witout provin his worth no way. If dere is no option left Anelka plus 30mil 4 Pato.

pato has more upside than anyone in the transfer market except CR. If we we're willing to bid that much on kaka, we should definitely do it for pato... kaka is already 27

let's leve pato 4now and go 4 sergior aguiero i guss is the best
