Former Brazil star Alexandre Pato in talks over League Two club takeover
- On Saturday, Alexandre Pato held behind-the-scenes talks with Colchester United owner and chairman Robbie Cowling about possible investment and was taken pitchside by Cowling and consultant Mitchell B. Reiss.
- Robbie Cowling is seeking to step away after almost twenty years and wants a long-term steward, while a Lightwell Sports Group bid collapsed last summer and investors from Europe, the US and the Middle East remain interested.
- It remains unclear whether talks have advanced, with Colchester United working with American consultant Mitchell B. Reiss to find a buyer as Pato follows retired players like David Beckham investing over recent years.
- At the time of writing, Colchester United sit eighth in League Two with four wins and two draws, amid managerial turnover.
- Having moved for £24M in 2007, Alexandre Pato scored 57 goals in 140 appearances for AC Milan and earned 27 senior caps for Brazil, boosting his investor profile.
