2007–08 season
Incumbent European champions A.C. Milan officially confirmed the signing of Pato on 2 August 2007,[4] paying €22 million to transfer his contract from Internacional.[5] Due to FIFA football regulations regarding non-EU minors, Pato was unable to play official matches for Milan until 3 January 2008, when the Italian transfer window and registration reopened.[6] However, Milan was allowed to include the player in friendlies and training beginning 3 September 2007, one day after his 18th birthday. Pato made his non-competitive debut in a 2–2 draw against Dynamo Kiev on 7 September 2007 and scored a header. On 4 January 2008, Pato's transfer to Milan became official.[7]

Pato scored his first Milan goal on his Serie A debut against Napoli in a 5–2 home victory on 13 January 2008. He scored his first brace for Milan, in a 2–0 victory over Genoa at the San Siro on 27 January 2008. He finished the 2007–08 season with 9 goals in 20 appearances (18 in the league).

I got this from Pato's Wikipedia.

    Agnelli and cie did say they wanted to find the young Ronaldinho's and Pato's + there were rumours about us getting a young Brazilian last week so it could be him.

    Its a fact, not speculation, that Brazilians move over to Europe at their 18th birthday officially. Milan missed the boat with Pato by couple days or so (birthday after mercato closed), but chose to have him train with the team for half a season.

    The Da Silva twins of Man U officially went over at 18, Coutinho did too (though signed 2 years before) and son. I think only anderson was an exception, maybe because it was Portugal, went to Porto I think at 17.
