Chelsea defender Alex could be heading to Panathinaikos next month, according to the Brazilian's agent.
The 26-year-old has been restricted to only six Premier League appearances for the Blues so far this season and is reportedly frustrated with his lack of first-team action.
The Greek side, who are managed by former Chelsea assistant Henk Ten Cate, are hoping to sign Alex initially on loan with a view to a permanent deal.
Alex's representative, Giuliano Bertolluci, told Greek newspaper Derby: "It's true that people of Panathinaikos called me.
"We discussed about a possible move of Alex to Panathinaikos.
"I think that it's very difficult to have news on this case because my client doesn't want to leave Chelsea on loan with an option for a permanent deal."
