CHELSEA are prepared to smash their transfer record to sign Alex Sandro from Juventus.
The Italians are desperate to keep the defender and slapped a £60million price tag on his head as well as offering him a new deal.
But after a fresh round of talks yesterday, Sandro is edging closer to a Stamford Bridge switch.
He must now to decide whether to sign a new contract at Juve or move to London, although Paris Saint-Germain may make a late swoop.
Sandro, 26, would beat Fernando Torres' £50m switch in 2011 but may not hold the record for long.
Chelsea are determined to bring Romelu Lukaku back to the club and could be forced to pay around £100m by Everton.
The main thing standing in the way of a move is Diego Costa's refusal to join a Chinese Super League team.
Costa wants to go back to Atletico Madrid despite the La Liga outfit's transfer ban.
