Milan have won the race to sign Brazilian starlet Alexandre Pato.
The 17-year-old also had offers from Chelsea, Real Madrid and Internazionale - but he and his father have opted for Milan.
It is reported that Milan will pay his club Internacional just short of £10million for his services.
Milan confirmed the deal in a statement, revealing he will become their player in January.
