Brazil international hints at £17.5m transfer to Liverpool or Man Utd in January

Alexandre Pato hints at January move

CORINTHIANS striker Alexandre Pato has suggested he could make a move in January.

 

The Brazil international has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks, with Liverpool and Manchester United both interested.

The 26-year-old revealed in September that United made a 'really good offer' for his services on transfer deadline day, while Liverpool have recently entered the race.

 

And Pato, who is currently on loan at Sao Paulo, now claims he could be on the move during the winter window as he hopes to complete a move 'soon'.

When asked on the possibility of returning to Europe, the former AC Milan forward said: "I do not know, I hope soon."

Corinthians deputy director of football Eduardo Ferreira claimed last month that Pato will cost suitors £17.5million, otherwise he'll return from his loan deal.

"At the moment there are only enquiries," Ferreira told Brazilian publication Globo Esporte. "But if a club comes in with an offer of €25m [£17.5m], we will let him go."
