Deal maker? Pato could be used as part of move to take
Tevez to Italy
AC Milan plan to end the Carlos
Tevez transfer saga by offering Alexandre Pato to Manchester City
as part of a loan deal.
City have been unmoved by the
Serie A giants attempts to take misfit striker Tevez on loan in
January, but could be swayed by a deal involving Pato.
Brazil international Pato, 22,
netted 14 times in 25 appearances for Milan last term but struggled
with injuries and lost his place to Antonio Cassano towards the end
of the campaign.
However, City boss Roberto
Mancini could be more interested in a swap deal if Brazil defender
Thiago Silva, 27, is the player switching to the Etihad
stadium.
Silva is valued by Milan at
£40million and they would prefer to keep him, according to the
Daily Star.
In the swing of it: Tevez appear to be enjoying his
time back in Argentina
