Bayern Munich are keen to sign Chelsea defender Alex, BBC Sport has learned.<\/p>\n

The Bundesliga side turned their attentions to the 28-year-old after failing to agree a fee with Manchester City for defender Jerome Boateng.<\/p>\n

Alex’s departure would leave Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry and David Luiz as Chelsea’s senior centre-backs.<\/p>\n

The Blues have yet to move into the transfer market this summer, having spent \u00a371m in January on Luiz and striker Fernando Torres.<\/p>\n

Chelsea refused to comment on the reports.<\/p>\n

Since the end of last season, three players have left Chelsea to join Hamburg – Michael Mancienne, Jacopo Sala and Gokhan Tore.<\/p>\n

Former Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen, who is now responsible for Hamburg’s transfer affairs, is also reported to be close to bringing young Blues centre-back Jeffrey Bruma to the German side on a two-year loan deal.<\/p>\n

The Blues are currently without a manager after they parted company with Italian Carlo Ancelotti in May, following a campaign during which they failed to win any silverware for the first time in three seasons.<\/p>\n

Alex joined the Stamford Bridge club in 2004 but was immediately loaned out to PSV Eindhoven because he had not played enough games for Brazil to qualify for a work permit.<\/p>\n

He helped PSV win three Dutch league titles before finally completing his move to Chelsea in 2007.<\/p>\n

Alex was behind Ricardo Carvalho and John Terry in the centre-back pecking order until Carvalho moved to Real Madrid at the start of last season. Alex became first choice before a knee operation in December ruled him out for two months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
