Agent admits no Chelsea contact over Pato plans

The agent of Chelsea striker Alexandre Pato admits they haven't heard from the club about next season.

The striker's loan deal at Chelsea, who he joined from Corinthians in January, is set to expire at the end of June but Pato's agent Gilmar Veloz has claimed that Antonio Conte has not been in touch to tell the Brazilian whether he will form part of his plans for next season.

"Chelsea has not given the player, me, or anyone any information regarding Pato's future," Veloz told Goal.

"We received the news that Mr. Conte was revising the players in the squad, however, he did not contact Pato or me to talk about his future as well.

"For now, Pato's future is still in the open, Chelsea has the option to buy, but if they don't then we will begin looking for other clubs. As of the moment, we must first wait to hear the club's decision."
