--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milan scout Leonardo has confirmed that the Rossoneri are following Ze Roberto of Santos and Alexandre Pato of Porto Alegre.
The Rossoneri are planning their moves in the transfer market as they look to challenge Inter for next year’s Scudetto and have eyed the Brazilian duo, who had already been paired with the San Siro outfit.
“We are looking for players who can adapt well to Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical scheme,” Leonardo told the Brazilian website Globesporte.com.
“Ze Roberto of Santos is definitely one of these players,” added the former Rossoneri midfielder, who will switch to a coaching role with the club in July.
“We are also interested in Pato, although we believe that he might need some time to mature before playing in Europe,” concluded the 1994 World Cup winner.
The 32-year-old Ze Roberto had already looked set for a move to the Rossoneri last summer, but the transfer fell through because of a knee injury.
However, the South American has enjoyed an excellent season with Santos and will be free to leave in June, when is 10-month contract ends.
As to Pato, the 17-year-old is also a reported target for Inter and Juventus after impressing in the Selecao’s January victory at the South American Under-20s Championship.
