Alex de Oliveira Nascimento (born 10 May 1999), simply known as Alex (Brazilian Portuguese: [ɐˈɫɛks]), is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a central defender for Portuguese club Famalicão, on loan from Santos.

Club career[]

Fluminense[]

Born in Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Alex joined Fluminense's youth setup in June 2016, from São Paulo.[1] On 17 January 2018, he appeared as an unused substitute in a 3–1 Campeonato Carioca away loss against Boavista.[2]

Alex made his first team – and Série A – on 27 October 2018, replacing injured Frazan in a 3–0 loss at Santos.[3]

Santos[]

Alex joined Santos on 7 May 2019, initially assigned to the under-20 squad. Fluminense also retained 30% of the player's federative rights.[4] On 30 July, after nearly three months at the club, he renewed his contract until December 2023.[5]

On 22 January 2020, as both first team regulars Lucas Veríssimo and Felipe Aguilar were injured, Alex was included in Jesualdo Ferreira's 28-man squad for the 2020 Campeonato Paulista.[6] On 1 July, he further extended his contract until 2024,[7] and made his debut for the club on 16 August, replacing injured Veríssimo in a 3–1 home win against Athletico Paranaense.[8]

Alex made his Copa Libertadores debut on 24 September 2020, again replacing Veríssimo in a 2–1 away defeat of Delfín SC.[9] On 10 November, it was announced that he and a further six first team players tested positive for COVID-19.[10]

Loan to Famalicão[]

On 17 August 2021, Alex moved abroad and joined Portuguese Primeira Liga side Famalicão on a one-year loan deal.[11] He made his debut for the club on 28 August, replacing Pêpê late into a 1–1 home draw against Sporting CP.
