Alexandre Pato is back in Barcelona's cross-hairs. Reports in Brazil assure that the Catalan club is keen to snap up the striker in the winter transfer window. The 'Azulgranas' are said to be putting together a bid in the range of 10 to 15 million euros to secure the Brazilian's services.

The 26-year-old would be keen on a move to the Camp Nou. Pato, who garnered experience in European football with a spell at Milan, would be prepared to act as a stand-in for Barça's front three of Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar.

Lest we forget, Pato signed for Corinthians in 2013 and managed to keep 40% of his ownership rights under his new contract, meaning that Corinthians would receive 60% of the fee from any future sale and the player would keep the rest. Pato is currently playing out on loan with São Paulo.

The forward's agent has already announced that Pato will be one of the big names in this winter's transfer window. All that remains to be seen is whether the striker ends up plying his trade at another big European club.
