Back Premier League: Alexandre Pato unsure about Chelsea future

Chelsea striker Alexandre Pato doesn't have any clues on his future at the club as incoming boss Antonio Conte has not communicated any decision regarding his playing staff. The Brazilian forward is on loan at Chelsea until the end of June. Another loanee, Radamel Falcao, was sent back to AS Monaco. Pato signed for Chelsea in January but was unable to make his debut before April due to fitness issues. He scored on his debut but then made just one more appearance until the end of the season.

The forward has a complicated situation as his contract with Corinthians runs out six months from now. He revealed that he would like to remain in England, at a London club if possible. "Chelsea has not given the player, me, or anyone any information regarding Pato's future," Pato's agent Gilmar Veloz said. "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."

New boss Antonio Conte will take charge at Chelsea after the end of Euro 2016, where he is leading the Italian national team. It is believed that Conte wants to bring a new big-name striker at the club, with potential targets like Gonzalo Higuain, Alvaro Morata and Romelu Lukaku. If one of these deals goes through then Pato will most likely be released as it would be very difficult for him to hold a place in the starting eleven.

Chelsea are 13/2 at Bet365 to win the Premier League next season.
