, Chelsea flop Alexandre Pato set to snub Inter Miami transfer and join rivals Orlando City on one-year deal on free

Alexandre Pato looks set to continue his career in America

American source The Mane Land, as cited by Fabrizio Romano, claim Pato will join Orlando.

It is reported that the forward will join the MLS side as a free agent on a one-year deal.

Orlando City fuelled the rumours on Twitter as they shared a cryptic post on Friday.

Pato, who left Sao Paolo last summer, has been known by the nickname ‘Duck’ during his career.

And the club sent their followers wild as they shared a clip of some ducks to social media page.

Alongside it, the club wrote: “Spotted in Orlando today.”

Pato’s move will come as a huge blow to David Beckham’s MLS side Inter Miami.

New boss Phil Neville has set his sights on a number of new players since taking charge.

SunSport revealed the club’s interest in Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross and West Brom ace Kieran Gibbs.

And it was reported that Pato had also been offered to the new Major League Soccer club.

He had also been tipped to join Al Diwaniya – but he made some huge demands while negotiating a contract.

Pato asked for a huge house with a private pool and protection for his family.

The former AC Milan star made his name in Italy, where he scored 63 goals in 150 appearances.

But he failed to live up to expectations when he joined Chelsea on loan from Corinthians in 2016.

He played just TWICE after arriving in January as he struggled for fitness and form.
