Real Madrid are reportedly ready to put in a €63 Million bid for AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato.
According to reports in La Repubblica, Madrid have singled out Pato as a top transfer target with Manuel Pellegrini keen to boost his attacking options to challenge for honours on all fronts.
Milan have already indicated that they are not interested in selling their young star, but this represents a similar scenario to Kaka's situation when Madrid came calling.
Pato moved to Milan in 2007 and is widely regarded as one of the upcoming superstars of the sport.
Nicknamed ‘The Duck', Pato was instrumental in helping Leonardo's side to a stunning 3-2 Champions League victory against his suitors at the Bernabeu earlier in the season.
Madrid currently have Raul, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain in attack but Pellegrini seems adamant that he needs an additional option.

Soccer-Kaka denies talks with Real
AC Milan's Kaka has denied holding talks with Real Madrid and said he wants to stay with the Serie A club.
Spanish media said prospective Real Madrid president Florentino Perez had agreed with Milan to sign Kaka in the off-season, having failed to attain the Brazilian when he was in charge at the Bernabeu.
"I think in recent days too many people have talked, now I'll speak," Kaka told Thursday's Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I have not had contact with Real, no one has tried to contact me and I think I have already made myself clear ... my wish is to stay at Milan."
Asked whether that would mean he would stay at the San Siro for life, Kaka said: "For the fifth time, it seems so to me."
Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani, who almost sold Kaka to Manchester City in January for a record fee, earlier said the former world player of the year was not for sale.
Kaka, who has been troubled by a foot injury in recent weeks, also said he would be happy to play under Massimiliano Allegri, amid media speculation the Cagliari boss may replace current coach Carlo Ancelotti.
