Chelsea and Antonio Conte are yet to inform Alexandre Pato whether he’s going to be offered a new deal at the club or not, his agent told Goal.
The Brazilian moved to Stamford Bridge with a 6-month loan in January but had to wait till 2nd of April to make his debut for the West London due to concerns over his fitness.
Despite scoring from the penalty spot on his first Chelsea appearance, the player made only one more outing under Guus Hiddink and is now one month away from being sent back to his host club Corinthians in Brazil.
Chelsea has not given the player, me, or anyone any information regarding Pato’s future.
Pato’s agent Gilmar Veloz says he was surprised by the lack of contact made by the Blues and the incoming boss Conte, despite the current Azzurri coach had been planning his squad for the oncoming Premier League campaign.
We received the news that Mr. Conte was revising the players in the squad, however, he did not contact Pato or me to talk about his future as well.
For now, Pato’s future is still in the open, Chelsea has the option to buy, but if they don’t then we will begin looking for other clubs. As of the moment, we must first wait to hear the club’s decision.
The former AC Milan forward is keen to stay in England, should Chelsea not offer him a new contract, but he’s reportedly ready to relocate as he’s reluctant to make a return to Brazil.
