AC Milan coach Ancelotti wants superstar Ronaldinho.

Sensational transfer news are out from Italy and it is reported that AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has openly declared that he wants to sign Barcelona and Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho.

The Milan boss said that the club is weighing up its position on the player and that it’s not a matter of bringing in Ronaldinho to please anyone, but because he is indisputably talented and his arrival wouldn’t rule out signing an outright front man.

Ancelotti also added that the arrival of Ronaldinho in the Milan midfield wouldn’t be a clash with their teenage sensation Alexandre Pato because he is a different kind of player.

Among his many achievements and accolades, Ronaldinho has been awarded the FIFA World Player of the Year award twice (2004, 2005), and as well as the European Footballer of the Year award and the FIFPro World Player of the Year award twice (2005, 2006).

Ronaldinho has downplayed suggestions that he is the best footballer in the world, telling FourFourTwo magazine, “I don’t even feel I’m the best at Barcelona.

AC Milan’s Clarence Seedorf forced to make way for Alexandre Pato

Clarence Seedorf admits that he is unhappy at having to make way for new AC Milan teenage sensation Alexandre Pato.

Reports are out that Seedorf, who has been playing in an attacking role for much of the season, was forced back into midfield as coach Carlo Ancelotti paired Pato in attack with Ronaldo and was rewarded with a 5-2 victory over Napoli last night.

Seedorf later went on to admit that he knew things would go well but it was a sacrifice for him personally having to push back and play in midfield.

On the other hand, Pato began his playing career at Internacional in Porto Alegre, where he played for both the youth and senior teams between 2001 and 2007. On his first team debut, at the age of 17, Pato helped Internacional to a 4-1 win over Palmeiras on November 26, 2006. Pato had created three of the goals and scored the other goal.

Pato scored Internacional’s first goal of the 2006 FIFA Club World Cup on December 13 in the semi-final game against Al-Ahly Cairo, helping the team win 2-1 and a spot in the final. With this goal Pato has taken Pelé’s record as younger scorer in the history of official FIFA competitions (17 years and 102 days, against Pelé’s 17 years and 239 in the 1958 FIFA World Cup against Wales). He was substituted in the final of the competition, before teammate Adriano Gabiru scored the winner, ensuring the title for Internacional.
