Paris: Chelsea defender Alex is set to complete a 5 million euros transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, L' Equipe claims. The Brazilian centre-back will reportedly fly to Paris on Friday to undergo a routine medical before signing an 18-month deal with the Ligue 1 leaders.
Earlier on Thursday, Alex's agent stated that the two clubs had not yet reached an agreement, but stressed that his client remained keen on a transfer to the Parc des Princes.
The 29-year-old will reunite with former coach Carlo Ancelotti after playing under the Italian trainer for two seasons at Stamford Bridge.
Alex has become increasingly frustrated at his lack of opportunities at Chelsea this season, making just nine competitive appearances since Andre Villas-Boas took over from Ancelotti.
Villas-Boas had declared Alex was allowed to leave the club before the transfer window opened, and has since signed defender Gary Cahill for Bolton for a fee understood to be in the region of 7 million pounds.
