The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 from the Milan squad; remains optimistic of the future.
Many have been surprised by the decision of the Milanello board of directors to approve the sale of their two most prized assets. This is especially true when there has been a huge exodus at the club already following the departures of experienced players
like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gennaro-Gattuso-c14525.
When there was a need to maintain the Milan spirit in the team, the Diavolo board approved the offer of the Parisian outfit to prise the two stars away from the club. The fee is reportedly 60 million Euros, which turns out to be around 47 million pounds.
Only http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Massimo-Ambrosini-c24579 remains in the squad from the team that played the Champions League final in Athens.
The weakening of the financial muscle in the Italian League is for everyone to see, with Silvio Berlusconi stating that the club would be saving 150 million Euros in two years time. Milan have a huge debt to their name, and the money generated from this
would go some way to clearing up the debt.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexandre-Pato-c4901 feels that Milan will remain in standing for competing for the Serie A Championship in the next campaign. He went on to state:
"Everyone is the master of their own destiny. [Milan are] still one of the favourites for the league title, along with Juventus and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567.”
The striker was giving an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport and in his interview, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international gave an indication that he might be leaving the club in 2014, by stating:
"[The goal is] to win as much as possible until the end of my contract, in 2014."
The striker was quizzed by Sky Sport Italia of his aspirations of winning an Olympic gold in the London Olympics 2012, to which he replied:
"I'm feeling good and I want to bring home a medal. We're a different team now compared to 2008 and we want to get to the final."
Pato spent a major chunk of last season sidelined through injury.
