PARIS Saint-Germain extended its spending spree by signing Brazilian defender Alex on Friday, taking the French club's outlay this season to nearly 100 million euros (US$143 million) and with another signing still possible before the transfer window shuts. Alex signed a 2-year deal to move from Chelsea, with the transfer fee widely reported to be worth 5 million euros.
"Everywhere I've played I've won trophies and titles and I want to do that here," Alex said in Paris."I'm in a big club and I'm happy with this. I appreciate the size of this club, which I have seen on TV, and it made me want to join."
The 29-year-old center back has played only three English Premier League games for Chelsea this season.
He fell out of favor with coach Andre Villas-Boas and has not played since the League Cup quarterfinal loss to Liverpool two months ago.
Alex would only say that Villas-Boas "didn't like my way of playing football much" and that he had spent recent weeks just "wanting to leave Chelsea."
Elsewhere, AC Milan signed Argentine striker Maxi Lopez on loan from Catania on Friday, signaling that the club has given up on signing Carlos Tevez, at least until the end of the season.
