Gilmar Veloz, the agent of Corinthians forward Alexandre Pato, has admitted that Juventus have enquired about his client.

The Brazil international has been strongly linked with a move back to Europe over recent months, having failed to find his best form back in Brazil.

"It’s all true [the links with Juventus]," Veloz told calcionews24. "We received a couple of offers from Italy, including one from Juventus.

"The Bianconeri wanted the player on loan with an option to buy, but Corinthians rejected the proposal.

"However, I don’t doubt Juve will go back on the attack for Pato in August."

Pato joined Corinthians from Milan in January 2013 for €15 million. Last season he scored nine goals in 30 appearances.
