Pato: Star to leave Milan?
The 19-year-old Brazil international was taken to Serie A by Ancelotti in 2007 and the Italian coach is eager to continue his protégé's education in the Premier League.
"At the end of June, after the Confederations Cup in South Africa, I will meet with the Rossoneri executives and speak about my future," Pato told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "But before that happens, I will speak to Ancelotti.
"He is an extraordinary man. It's thanks to Ancelotti that I have been able to emerge at AC Milan and in Italian football. Before I decide my future, I want to talk to him."
Pato added: "It's an honour to be liked by a club like Chelsea"
The former Internacional star, who scored 15 Serie A goals for the Rossoneri last season, is under contract at Milan until 2012 but may be persuaded to quit the club after seeing compatriot and team-mate Kaka leave to join Real Madrid on Monday.
Media reports have linked Milan with the quick purchase of Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko to try to quell the unrest caused by the Kaka sale. Dzeko is also being tracked by Arsenal.
