Galatasaray are favourites to sign Corinthians-owned forward Alexandre Pato, according to reports.

Tuttomercatoweb claims that the 24 year-old, who is currently on loan at São Paulo, could be set for a move to Turkey, if his €15 million release clause is triggered.

Pato has previously been linked with moves to Internazionale, Torino and Tottenham Hotspur, after a disappointing 18 months in Brazil.

The Pato Branco has managed just five goals in 16 appearances for São Paulo this term and may feel a return to Europe will help get his career back on track.
