Birkirkara are close to bringing back Brazilian winger Alex ‘Lecao’ Paixao.

The Stripes, now under the charge of coach Giovanni Tedesco, are looking to build a competitive squad ahead of the new season and have targeted Lecao as one of their main targets in their rebuilding process.

Alves started the 2020-21 season with Birkirkara FC but last January he decided to start a new challenge in Saudi Arabia with Al-Washm.

Alves is expected to arrive in Malta next week to finalise his return to the club.
