Brazilian striker says there is no problem with Massimiliano Allegri

AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato has played down speculation linking him with a move to big-spending Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint Germain. The player's agent Gilmar Veloz recently intimated that the 22-year-old had been offered a lucrative proposal from the Qatari-owned club. However, the Brazilian has denied any knowledge of interest from the French outfit and claims that he hasn't heard from his agent for four years. He told Milan's official channel: "I don't know about any interest from PSG and I have a contract here at Milan until 2014. "I don't know about any marketing deal with my agent because that last time I heard from him was four years ago when I told him that I wanted to come to Milan." Meanwhile, the player has assured fans that he is willing to stay at the San Siro and claims that there are no problems with head coach Massimiliano Allegri. "This was the first year I have won some silverware with Milan and it was beautiful. Obviously, the Champions League is the main goal for the club, but we also want to win the Italian championship. "As regards the coach, there is no tension between us. You can work well without being friends. We are two professionals and we are here to do our best. "Since I've been here, I have had three coaches - (Carlo) Ancelotti, Leonardo and now Allegri. All three are very good and I do what they say."
