On Monday, reports spread in the British press that London's "Arsenal" is interested in Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato, who has returned to "Corinthians".

The manager of the "Gunners", Arsene Wenger, recently mentioned that the club will not try to sign a striker in the winter, but according to the English media, the Frenchman has already made an 8 million euro offer for the player.

It is reported that "Corinthians" quickly rejected this proposed amount. It is believed that the Brazilian club wants to receive 12 million euros for A. Pato.

The 24-year-old striker has played in Europe for a long time. The player represented the "Milan" team for six seasons and scored 63 goals in 150 games.

A. Pato returned to the San Paulo team last January, while the "Rossoneri" team received 15 million euros for the Brazilian.
