If the team is spending less is some of the much needed positions, we might be able to splash some more for someone like Benzema.

Yes i had heard of Kaka before he came here.
Just because this Alex is apparently a good player in Brazil doesn't mean that he'll come to Europe and be anywhere near as good for us. Every season there are at least 5 'must have' prodigies in South America and over half of them fail to do anything. So what if he has 2 caps for Brazil, that means nothing.
Is he as good as Zapata or Kompany? Is he proven against good players? The answer to both questions is no. Right now, if this move is true, it's just another cheap way to bolster the squad and hope he turns into another 'gem' of a player.
