Former Milan man Alexandre Pato is the latest name linked with a move this January to Fiorentina, as they continue their striker search.
Without Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Bernardeschi until into 2015, La Viola are strongly expected to reinforce their attack this mid-season.
A host of names have been linked with the Artemio Franchi, including Sebastian Giovinco and Ciro Immobile, and today La Nazione throw Pato into the mix.

The Florentine outlet believe that he is set to end his Sao Paolo loan deal and that his parent club Corinthians are likely to be willing to temporarily send him out again from January.
The suggestion is that a return to Italy is on the cards and that Fiorentina are considering a bid.
However, club directors are also keen to first realise the player and his club’s intentions before moving forward with any offer.
