Chelsea and Manchester City have been put on alert by the news that AC Milan will reportedly let Alexandre Pato leave the club in January.
Pato has been on Chelsea's radar for some time, with reports during the summer transfer window suggesting the Blues were preparing to launch a £30million bid for the Brazil international.
And according to Calciomercato.com, Serie A champions Milan are prepared to let the 22-year-old leave the San Siro in the New Year providing they receive an offer in the region of £40m.
Manchester City are also believed to be keen on the forward, while cash-rich French side Paris Saint-Germain are rumoured to be considering a bid.
Pato has fallen out of favour with Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri in recent weeks, with the 44-year-old warning the youngster that he is no longer an automatic pick in his starting line-up.
And with Allegri believed to be keen on signing a midfielder during the January transfer window, it is thought that he could be willing to cash in on Pato to generate funds.
Ajax midfielder Christian Eriksen, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool, is believed to be on Milan's radar.
Pato had said during the summer following reports linking him with a move to Stamford Bridge that he wanted to "respect" his deal with the Serie A champions.
But Barbara Berlusconi, daughter of AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi - and Pato's girlfriend - later admitted that none the club's players are unsellable.
