Heading for Liverpool? Chelsea defender Alex
Liverpool
boss Rafa Benitez is ready make a shock move for Chelsea
defender Alex as he bids to boost his defensive options at
Anfield.
The Brazil international is out of contract at Stamford Bridge
next summer and, as a free agent, is attracting a number of
high-profile clubs.
Sportsmail understands
that the 27-year-old wants a longer deal than the two-year
extention offered by Chelsea.
Leaving on a free could be lucrative, with suitors ready to
increase his £30,000-a-week deal.
His place in the Chelsea team is also by no means assured, with
Carlo Ancelotti getting success with a partnership of John Terry
and Ricardo Carvalho at the heart of his defence, while Branislav
Ivanovic has also been given opportunites.
Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Juventus, Lyon and Real Madrid are
among other clubs linked with the former PSV Eindhoven player, who
is currently out with a groin injury.
