Former AC Milan striker Alexandre Pato could be headed to Galatasaray before Monday's European transfer deadline.
But the Turkish club must meet the 24-year-old's 15 million euro release clause for the move to go ahead, reports Xinhua.
Owned by Corinthians, Pato is currently on loan at Brazilian rivals Sao Paulo. He has scored six goals and made one assist from 16 matches in Brazil's Serie A this season.
Capped 26 times for Brazil, Pato has also been linked with moves to Inter Milan, Torino and Tottenham Hotspur.
