Chelsea offers 20 million for child prodigy
English Chelsea intends to buy 17-year-old Brazilian youth team forward Aleshandro from Internacional for 20 million euros. However, this amount is not final yet. Real, Inter and Milan have made official offers to the Brazilian club, so the bargaining will continue. In addition, Pato may have problems obtaining a work permit in England: due to his age, he has not yet played a single match for the main Brazilian national team, in which case the English Premier League will make a decision separately.
By the way, at one time the Russian CSKA also had an eye on Alexandro Pato. However, the army team was ready to pay no more than 14 million euros. Konstantin IVANOV
