Alexandre Pato, Robinho wants AC Milan exits

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has confirmed that the club's Brazilian duo of Alexandre Pato and Robinho have requested transfers.

Both now appear to be on the verge of leaving the San Siro during next month's transfer window after Galliani admitted that talks are planned with clubs in their homeland.

"My trip to Brazil has been planned for months," he told the club's official website. "It will be all work and no vacation, as there are two negotiations in progress.

"Pato and Robinho asked to leave Milan. I already know what could happen in case they do go."

Pato joined Milan in 2007, while his compatriot Robinho signed from English champions Manchester City in 2010.
