Spurs target Pato has rediscovered his form
Alexandre Pato is moving in January, his loan spell at Sao Paulo is up and his parent club Corinthians can't wait to get shot of him. Club president Roberto De Andrade confirmed that recently.
Pato is currently playing on the left wing and the are suggestions in Brazil that he is not suited to the game in England. England is the most physical of the major leagues in Europe so skillful Brazilians perform better in Italy and Spain than they generally do in the Premier League. That is not true of all of them of course, but it is the case for many of them.
Pato has rediscovered his form in Brazil, he is scoring goals and tormenting defences, many believe he should be playing for Brazil but national team manager Dunga doesn't seem to be a fan. Pato is the right footed player in the video below.
Any offer made during his loan period can be matched by Sao Paulo. As it ends at the end of the year, he will then have just a year left on his Corinthians contract. South American contracts run from December to January so the £15-million some have been throwing about is well off the mark.
He earns £60,000-a-week, nobody wants to pay his wages in Brazil, that leaves Europe.
Can his bring his talent to the Premier League, would he be able to handle a more physical game? We are doing our homework on him having scouted many games. With a year left on his contract he is going to be a sensible price and as his third party owner is himself negotiating should be a lot easier than it usually is for a South American player.
“We are praying day and night, hoping to sell Pato."Tottenham are one club interested in him and Manchester United made an offer on deadline day for him, which arrived too late. Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has suggested he will not be chasing Pato despite the recent link.
