Rivals close in on Chelsea defender

Alex has moved a step closer to leaving Chelsea after opening talks with QPR about a move to Loftus Road.
QPR's new manager Mark Hughes wasted no time in making his interest known in the Brazilian centre back after being appointed as Neil Warnock's successor last week and is keen to finalise a deal as soon as possible.
It is still unclear whether a fee has been agreed with the two clubs after Chelsea rejected the R's first two offers but Hughes revealed that he has already held talks with Alex and is hopeful a deal can be finalised with the 29-year-old.
Hughes told the Telegraph: " 'Talks are ongoing. I've spoken to him and told him my feelings towards him as a player.
"It's a big decision for him. We're trying to get things finalised and get over the line with it. The hope is that we'll get deals done sooner rather than later, but I can't say for sure whether it'll be sooner at the moment'.
