\"AlexandreValencia: Villarreal have omitted Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato from their squad to play Granada in the La Liga football championship<\/a><\/strong> on Saturday as speculation mounted about an imminent move to China.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old is said to be in advanced talks to join Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian before the close of the European transfer window next Thursday, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\n

At a press conference on Friday, Villarreal coach Fran Escriba said the Brazilian had received an offer to move, but did not provide details.<\/p>\n

“We are analysing the situation,” Escriba said. “It’s difficult to include him in this match because he has an attractive offer to leave and we can’t take any risks.”<\/p>\n

Pato has struggled for consistency since joining the Spanish club from Corinthians in July, managing just six goals in 24 appearances.<\/p>\n

Tianjin Quanjian coach Fabio Cannavaro is understood to be a fan of the former AC Milan striker, who is contracted to Villarreal until 2020.<\/p>\n

The Chinese outfit already has Brazilian forwards Luis Fabiano and Geuvanio in its squad.<\/p>\n

Tianjin Quanjian earned promotion to the Chinese Super League after winning last year’s second division title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
