Alexandre Pato comes to Major League Soccer
Pato is a name that if you have been following Soccer for a while, you will recognize. Alexandre Pato is still only 31 years old, but it feels like hes been around the game forever. If anyone needs a refresher about Pato’s natural ability, watch this video of him scoring at the Camp Nou in 24 seconds.

After bouncing around multiple clubs and continents over the last 5-10 years, Pato has found a home in MLS. Orlando City announced this past week that the Brazilian will be joining them for the 2021 season. In past years, the league has seen forwards come to America and revitlize their careers. Sebastian Giovinco, Bradley Wright Phillips, and Jozy Altidore to name a few.
Pato is a player with experience and pedigree but will certainly have his work cut out for him. Orlando City already have talented forwards at their disposable. The likes of Tesho Akinola, Benji Michel, and Daryl Dike all posses quality. Be on the lookout for Pato in the 2021 season and maybe see some shades of the Pato that we fell in love with at AC Milan.
