Alexandre Pato insists he wants to remain at AC Milan despite attracting interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Corinthians.
The Brazil international’s future has been the subject of intense speculation over the past six months with reports suggesting that the 22-year-old will leave the San Siro this summer.
Paris Saint-Germain have long been admirers of Pato, and Corinthians are also keen to acquire the forward’s services.
''Milan has received several offers besides one from Paris Saint-Germain,'' Pato told Gazzetta dello Sport.
''I have also received interests from Brazilian clubs but it's not the time to return home as I am only 22 and I feel I am at the club I want to be.
''I have every intention to remain in Europe for many years before I return to Brazil. I can only thank these clubs but I will stay at Milan.
''I will remain until the last day of my contract, which expires in 2014. I am grateful to this club for all it has done for me.
''I have received help from them during difficult times and I have no intention to change teams. I want to repay the faith Milan has in me.''
