Argentinos are excited about the possibility of breaking the market. As confirmed by a high source of the Bug to Ole, from La Paternal contacted Brazilian forward Alexandre Pato to try to add him to the team led by Gabriel Milito. The forward has been free since the middle of last year, when his link with São Paulo ended and he welcomes a step through Argentine football. Bump?

Pato, 31, was considered one of the great promises on the planet when he took his first steps as a professional at Inter in Porto Alegre, with which he won the 2006 Club World Cup after beating Barcelona in the final. The European giants quickly laid their eyes on him and the forward decided to accept Milan’s proposal, which paid 22 million euros when the players was just 17 years old.

However, a series of injuries sapped his confidence and his career did not sustain the upward pace of the early years. After a long time in the Old Continent, he returned to his country to play for Corinthians, although he also failed to stand out. He returned to Europe, wore the shirts of Chelsea and Villarreal and also had a stint in Chinese football, in Tianjin Tianhai.
His return to Brazil was defending the colors of São Paulo (he had already played there in 2015), although his cycle did not last long: in August 2020 he was free and since then he has been unemployed. According to some rumors, Milito would have communicated with him to try to convince him to come to Argentina to put on the Bicho jacket. Although it is complicated, the dream lives on in La Paternal.
