Alex: Let
Me Quit Chelsea
PHIL SCOLARI has been rocked by a transfer request from
Alex.
The Brazil defender hopes to move on from Chelsea next
month.
Alex said: “I told Chelsea a few days ago that I wanted
to leave.
“There are many options. But I have to think them
through and see if Chelsea will let me leave in
January.”
It is a major blow for boss Scolari, who has failed to
get on with his countryman since arriving in London in
July.
AC Milan and Seville have already expressed an interest
in the £10million-rated centre-back.
Alex is frustrated by his lack of first-team
involvement, having made just 12 appearances so far this
season.
He knows he is third-choice behind John Terry and and
Ricardo Carvalho.
But what really worries the Brazil star is he will fail
to make his country's 2010 World Cup team.
Brazil boss
 Dunga
currently prefers Lucio and Juan as his central
defenders and has told Alex he needs to play more games
to be considered.
Alex has not even been on the bench for the South
Americans' most recent qualifiers. The player, who began
his career with Santos, came to Chelsea via PSV
Eindhoven.
The Blues paid one dollar for him when he moved in the
summer of 2007, after being on loan with the Dutch
outfit for three years.
The silver lining for Scolari is that any money
generated by a sale could help finance buying a top new
striker.
