Despite being linked with AC Milan and Manchester United, Brazilian centre-back Alex is intending to remain at Paris Saint-Germain.
The former Chelsea defender's contract with the French champions expires this coming summer, something which had led to interest from Milan and Manchester United, who both smelt a potential free transfer bargain.

But Alex's preference is to remain with the Ligue 1 giants and he is angling to put pen to paper on a fresh deal.
"I am very happy in Paris and it is almost certain that I will sign a new contract", the centre-back told Globoesporte.
