Alex, who’s hosted Football focus for three years, is now one of the favourites to take over from Gary Lineker as host of Match of the Day.
Gary Lineker announced earlier this week that he was quitting Match of the Day at the end of the season.
The popular presenter, 63, took over hosting duties on the flagship BBC programme from Des Lynam in 1999.
A BBC source said: “Gary absolutely adores Match of the Day and has been incredibly happy at the BBC.
“But he has been at the helm since 1999, and by the time he leaves he will have been at the Beeb for 30 years.
“He wants to leave on a high - and if England win the World Cup, it doesn’t get much higher.
“It’s one of the industry’s worst-kept secrets that the new BBC Director of Sport Alex Kay-Jelski and Gary aren’t exactly close.
"The former is very keen to make his mark by bringing in new faces and slashing wage bills.
Negotiations have been ongoing for the past six weeks and finally a deal has been struck that everyone is pleased with.
“BBC execs will be giving Match of the Day a reboot to keep it fresh in the wake of such a huge departure.”
