Chelsea FC Transfer News: Alex Confirmed As PSG Player

The Alex to Paris Saint-Germain saga's officially over, with the Brazilian officially signing with Carlo Ancelotti's new side on Friday. Chelsea have also confirmed the transfer via the club's Twitter. It's a decent move for PSG - they landed a quality centre half for not very much money (confirmed at £4.2M) - and Alex will finally be able to play football again without suffering the indignity of playing for QPR.

Alex, of course, was a key member of the double-winning side of 2009/10 (it's amazing that Chelsea won the league less than two years ago!) and it's a bit of a shame that a series of injuries last year let to him slipping down the totem pole. He's a very good defender, a decent-seeming bloke, and, well, he can do this:

Goodness me. I don't think we'll ever see anything quite like that again. Best of luck in Paris, Alex, and give Carlo a noogie or something from all of us. Much love!

As sad as it is...

…he clearly wasn’t part of the plan here, so I’m glad he’s going to get some time elsewhere.

I've always liked Alex, he was a solid defender when called upon.

I wish him the best in all his future endeavours with PSG and Carlo!
