Alexandre Pato’s loan move to Chelsea was one of the talking points in the January window, many expected to see glimpses of Pato’s wonderful form from the early days of his career but instead the former AC Milan man is yet to play a minute of football for his new club.
Pato is understood to be on a loan contract worth around £30k-a-week, this means that during his spell getting back to match fitness the player has cost Chelsea a staggering £200k in wages. By the end of the current season, whether he gets a playing time or not, the Brazilian will smile home with over £400k.
