I think it's safe to say it will be Star Alliance.

Do you have a link to this statement, because I haven't seen it in the news? (even a .br link)
TAM also formed a new partnership with LAN (oneworld). It's a little odd, even though they also work with TAP, UA, LH.

Sob nova direção
Novo presidente da TAM assume prometendo investir em serviços diferenciados

SÃO PAULO - Resgatar a excelência dos serviços. Esta é a prioridade do novo presidente da TAM, David Barioni Neto, escolhido na quarta-feira pelo Conselho de Administração como sucessor de Marco Antonio Bologna na presidência da empresa aérea.
Marca registrada da companhia, a excelêcia dos serviços foi deixada em segundo plano nos últimos anos, quando a TAM expandiu fortemente suas operações. A idéia, segundo ele, é ampliar o sistema de tarifas diferenciadas (fare bundles, em inglês) adotado pela empresa no ano passado,com a inclusão de novos serviços e comodidades aos passageiros.
Barioni anunciou também que quer levar adiante seu plano de expansão no mercado internacional. Assim, a TAM deve passar a integrar uma das três grandes alianças globais de empresas aéreas em 2008.
A TAM trabalha com cinco categorias de tarifas em seus vôos domésticos, que vão das mais baixas, que não contam milhas para seu programa de fidelidade, às mais caras que permitem a remarcação de bilhetes ou comodidades como o usa de sala vip em aeroportos. Os novos serviços e comodidades serão definidos a partir de pesquisas juntos aos clientes da empresa.

sorry but you have got the tense wrong - TAM had been code sharing with AA - they terminated the relationship recently and replaced it with an arrangement with UA - this combined with their recent agreements with TP and LH would seem to indicate that Star is the most likely but we will have to wait and see

The fact that the Barioni statement is vague makes me wonder if TAM wants the alliances to compete for them or something.

Codeshares and combined fares don't mean a whole lot. QF codeshares with OZ (*Alliance) and AF (Skyteam). LH has fares together with QF.
So it is still possible that LA and JJ codeshare and JJ joins another alliance.
