Corinthians confirm they will sell Pato to Arsenal or Spurs in January

Pato-Corinthians 
Corinthians have admitted that they could sell Pato in the January transfer, as it emerged over the weekend that North London rivals, Arsenal and Tottenham, are interested in the Brazilian.
 The 24-year-old, who left AC Milan in January, after spending several injury-ridden seasons in Italy, might be set for a return to Europe, according to the club’s director, Roberto de Andrade.

“Considering his value, I think it’s hard that he moves to another Brazilian club,” he told Radio Bandeirantes. “If those two clubs [Arsenal and Tottenham] are interested in Pato, we don’t rule out selling him in the winter transfer market.”

Pato himself revealed that Spurs came in with an offer in the summer, but he chose to stay in Brazil.

“Tottenham had called Corinthians to ask for my transfer,” he told Brazilian TV station SporTV. “I sat at the table with the club and my agent and I decided I wanted to stay.”
