Chelsea defender Alex was on the verge of securing a move to Queens Park Rangers. However, Paris Saint-Germain’s intervention has changed everything and the Brazilian will shortly arrive in Paris to formalise a move to Parc des Princes
After failing to land a desirable offensive player, Ligue 1 big-spenders, Paris Saint-Germain have added a new dimension to their dealings in the winter transfer window.
Les Parisiens have been keen on signing a new central defender who could pair up with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752.
The defender is currently under contract at English Premier League side Chelsea FC where he submitted a transfer request last year. Since then the defender has not played a single game for the London giants.
Initially, Alex was hotly linked with a move to fellow-Premier League side Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314. However, things have dramatically changed in the past few days largely due to PSG’s intervention.
Reports now claim that the residents of Parc des Princes are about to steal the player from the grasp of the London club. The Brazilian is on the verge of securing a move to the Ligue 1 leaders where he will be reunited with former Chelsea manager Carlo
Ancelotti.
Furthermore, the lure of playing in the Champions League or the Europa League next season might have proved too much for the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santos-c32532 star. A fee in the region of 5 million Euros has been cited as the amount Chelsea would receive for the transaction.
However, it still remains to be seen how quickly Alex would be able to integrate with the squad. Currently, PSG have as many as five central defenders in their ranks which means that the 29-year-old will have a fight on his hands in order to secure a starting
place in the squad.
Alex though, has a different profile from the other central defenders. The former Santos man has experience of playing top level football for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 and coach Carlo Ancelotti.
