AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato admits he would like to speak with Carlo Ancelotti before making any decision on his future.
The 19-year-old, who is under contract at Milan until 2012, has been linked with a moved to Chelsea ever since his former boss Ancelotti made the switch last month.
However, the Brazil star will wait until after this month's Confederations Cup before making a final decision.
He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "Slow down. Nothing has yet been decided.
"At the end of June, after the Confederations Cup in South Africa, I will meet Milan's officials and we will talk about my future.
"But before then, I will speak with Ancelotti. He is an extraordinary man. It's thanks to Ancelotti I have been able to emerge at Milan and in Italian football.
"Before deciding my future I want to talk to him. I wanted to embrace him and to clarify some things with him.
"He is very happy at Chelsea. They are a great of European football. It's an honour to be held in high regard by a club like Chelsea.
"Anyway, I repeat. Before meeting Milan's directors, I will speak with Ancelotti. My future will be clear at the end of the June."
