Birmingham City are lining up a move for striker Alexandre Pato, according to reports in Italy.
The 31-year-old has been without a club since reaching an agreement with Sao Paulo for the termination of his contract in August.
Now Italian outlet Calciomercato claim Aitor Karanka's Birmingham are considering bringing the former Chelsea and AC Milan forward back to English football.
However, the report adds that there is also interest in the former Brazil international from Italy, with top-flight sides Genoa and Spezia monitoring his situation as well as Serie B outfit Monza.
