Some players had the pleasure of playing with the best when they were young, and be tutored by them. At AC Milan, he played alongside Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Kaká, Andrea Pirlo and more legends of the sport. His career did not go as expected and who was some point a very promising player ended up being just average.

He spent more five years there, and left when his performances went down. He played for a lot of clubs trying to save a career with glory but he ended up playing for clubs that were just good. At 31 years old, he wants to give it a shot in MLS, where many former players of top teams shone.

That player is Alexandre Pato. He has been more than six months without a club since he left Sao Paulo and TMW revealed there is an offer on the table for him from an undisclosed MLS club. Anyway, it will have to compete with another interested club, because Vélez Sársfield from Argentina wants him too.

Still, Pato is a great striker who scored 182 goals in the 458 games of his career at Internacional, AC Milan, Corinthians, Sao Paulo, Chelsea, Villarreal and Tianjin Quanjian at club level  With Brazil national team, he found the net 10 times in 27 matches. So that secret MLS club would get a striker that despite not living up to the expectations, he still have some fire in him.
