Alexandre Pato says he will not remain with loan club
Sao Paulo.
On-loan Sao Paulo striker Alexandre Pato does not envisage
staying at the Estadio Cicero Pompeu de Toledo as rumours of
a move away from parent club Corinthians intensify.
The Brazil international sees his loan doal with Sao Paulo expire
in January, having left financially troubled Corinthians
temporarily in February.
The 26-year-old looks set to leave Corinthians permanently in
the near future but they have yet to find a buyer - Pato
reportedly among the club's highest earners.
Amid links with Barcelona and a host of other top European
sides, Pato opened the door for a move away from Brazil -
stating he would not return to Sao Paulo in 2016.
"I will not stay in Sao Paulo next year. I watched an interview
with [interim Sao Paulo president] Leco and he said it is very
difficult to sign me," Pato told reporters after Saturday's 3-0 win
over Sport Recife.
"I want to help Sao Paulo in this final stretch, these five very
important games, because I want to put the team into the
Copa Libertadores.
"I see no problem. I'm a professional and I have to always do
my job. I want to devote my best to them and go on vacation
with a feeling of accomplishment."
