01/27/2012 -
Paris, France (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - PSG signed Brazil defender Alex from Chelsea
on Friday on a 2 1/2-year deal.
Alex, 29, left Brazilian club Santos in 2004 for Chelsea, and remained at the
English Premier League club - with the exception of a loan to PSV Eindhoven -
until the switch to France.
He made just three appearances in the Premiership this season under new Blues
coach Andre Villas-Boas, and has not played in two months. He will join former
Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti at PSG.
"Paris was my first choice," Alex said. "During the last two months, I wanted
to leave Chelsea. Were then entered into negotiations with PSG.
"I knew the greatness of the club and I wanted to logically come. I spent two
years under the direction of Carlo Ancelotti in London and I am very happy to
be here in Paris."
Alex leaves Chelsea after making 86 appearances. He has also played 18 matches
for Brazil, making his first appearance for his country in 2004.
He follows Brazilian defender Maxwell to PSG this January. Maxwell joined from
Barcelona earlier this month.
PSG spent more than $100 million on transfers last summer and the two signings
take the club's spending spree to approximately $125 million, although no fee
for the transfer of Alex was announced.
