The Brazil international has been linked with a return to his homeland after expressing his unhappiness recently at a lack of first-team opportunities for the Rossoneri this season.

Reports emanating from Brazil suggest that Timao are lining up a €15million offer for Pato, who has only managed seven appearances in all competitions for Massimiliano Allegri's side since returning from a thigh injury sustained in pre-season.

Alves is hoping to clinch a deal for the 23-year-old early in the New Year, and says the club's medical staff are standing by to make sure his injury problems are a thing of the past.

He told ESPN Brasil: "A lot of people know about his potential on the pitch. He is an exceptional player.

"Our medical department and physiotherapists are already following Pato and are going to work with him.

"We hope that in the first week of January we can give him as a gift to Corinthians' fans."
