Fenerbahçe SK captain Alex and left-back Roberto Carlos have both signed contract extensions to prolong their stays at the Istanbul club.
Agreements
Former Brazil skipper Alex, 31, has agreed a two-year deal with the option for a further 12 months, having won two championships with the Turkish club since switching from Cruzeiro EC in 2004. Meanwhile the 35-year-old Roberto Carlos, who joined in 2007 after eleven seasons at Real Madrid CF, has committed for the 2009/10 campaign after activating a clause in his contract. Both players helped Fenerbahçe to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals last term – the club's best performance in the competition. This year the Istanbul giants are out of Europe and fourth in the Süper Lig, though only two points off the lead, ahead of their campaign resumption at home to second-placed Trabzonspor on Sunday.
