Lee Corrington, the club's sports director, traveled to Brazil on Sunday in order to finalize the transaction and negotiate personal conditions with the player. He was successful in doing so. The 20-year-old, who followed Gabri Veiga to Al Ahli last summer, is the next young sensation to sign with the Jeddah-based team for an alleged cost of under €9 million.
Despite his youth, Alexsander has already made 64 appearances for Fluminense, where he assisted them in defeating Boca Juniors to win the 2023 Copa Libertadores. Along with being a member of the Brazilian squad that won the South American U-20 Championship, he is also a Brazilian U23 international. Along with numerous other well-known players including Edouard Mendy, Merih Demiral, Franck Kessie, Riyad Mahrez, and Gavri Veiga, Alexsander will recognize familiar faces at Al Ahli, including fellow countrymen Roberto Firmino and Roger Ibañez.
