Pato spent last season on loan at Sao Paulo

Pato's current club Corinthians have publicly stated that they want the 25-year-old to move on.
Once touted as Brazil's next rising star, Pato has 27 caps and 10 goals for his country but he has not made a Brazil squad since 2013.
He signed for AC Milan in 2007 from Internacional and scored 16 Serie A goals in 43 performances but struggled towards the end of a five-year spell and returned to Brazil with Corinthians in January 2013.
Corinthians moved him out to Sao Paulo on loan for the 2014-15 season and he scored 19 times in 59 games.
