AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani has indicated that the Rossoneri are now preparing to offer Alexandre Pato a lucrative contract extension.
Pato, who scored 15 goals in 36 Serie A appearances last season, has been heavily linked with Chelsea after coach Carlo Ancelotti left the Rossoneri for Stamford Bridge.
The 19-year-old, though, recently confirmed his desire to stay with the Italian giants.
Following his recent remarks, Galliani now intends to reward the gifted youngster with an extension to his current deal.
"Pato will get a contract extension," Galliani told the club's official website. "I am absolutely delighted by Pato's comments.
"We have always spoken to Pato and the comments that arrive from other continents usually are mistaken. There were no doubts and there are no doubts regarding his future.
"The only offer that has arrived to our club was a monster offer from England. I continue to believe that there isn't a player in the world of his age who is as strong as he is.
"In any case, no one should worry because he is under contract to June 2012."
