I don't think there is too much to think about here. I think if an adequate offer comes in then we should sell him.
I'm not sure if 15mil is that offer as I was hoping for more, but if I'm honest.....who would pay more? I think at this point that's the most we can hope for, unless we can perhaps get a player involved in the deal.
For 15 mil euros there should be many teams interested. Even injury prone, he is still Pato whose his goals to Barca bring him back to the top even he had not that good season in that time. He is still 23, his price would not droop from 15 mil euros IMO. The problem is only his wage seeing he contributes almost nothing. He should do Redondo like xudong said but it is almost impossible to hope to happen.

15 mill is something to think about but if we can fetch 20 million I wouldn't think twice
this is what i think
pato has been sold, robinho will be kept, and we get chiriches and another midfielder
than the mercato is close
By renewing Niang's contract, I believe that the management is sending out a clear message that we have decided to move on and away from Pato. It is really sad but to be fair, Milan has been extremely generous with their support when it comes to Pato.
New rumor says that Chelsea is also interested in Pato's service. Maybe we can have a Pato/Oscar swap. OK, I am being crazy. :d
I read that in Italy a club can not offer 5 years length of contract for players under 18 years old and there is possibility that Milan prolong his contract due to his 18 birthday. Of course the influence of how Niang performed with Milan is big enough.

Niang is very talented and he's already played as a starter in France prior to Milan in ligue 1 sobhe already has a good amount of experience at a pretty high level, now it remains to be seen how much he'll improve this season so he can be a guaranteed starter next year similar to els.
I think Robinho's pretty much out the door, but Pato's case seeems more complicated. I think he's gone too, but the negotiations will likely be more complicated given that we'll want to get back as much as possible after such heavy investment in him.
