FOCUS: Alex could renew with Milan
Last summer, the former PSG man seemed intended to leave San Siro to join his homecountry club Santos: the two clubs easily found an agreement, but not the player and the Peixe, so that Alex finally remained at San Siro, even though the rossoneri seemed intentioned to bet on Rodrigo Ely. For tonight’s game against Palermo, the South American player will probably remain on the bench, but just as a precaution. Alex will start again next Sunday against Udinese.
On the other hand, Alex’s contract will expire at the end of the season, and Milan have an option to renew his contract with a lower salary: the only problem is that also Zapata and Mexes are about to become free agents, and only one of them will be able to stay.
