Chelsea transfer news: Blues plot move for Juventus star Alex Sandro
Sandro has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, with Antonio Conte's men coming close to a deal last summer
CHELSEA are reportedly ready to make a move for Juventus star Alex Sandro in the January transfer window.
The Brazilian has been strongly linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, with Antonio Conte's men coming close to a deal last summer.
But now it seems that Conte is going back for his man with Sandro having fallen out-of-favour with Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri.
claim Juventus are willing to cash in on the wing-back who is yet to sign a new contract.
SunSport reported the Brazil defender has made it clear to the Italian giants he wants out of Serie A - and his preference is to move to Stamford Bridge in January.
Chelsea were chasing the Juve full-back all summer, but the Italian champions demanded a staggering £70million for the Brazilian international.
United had targeted Sandro as a priority in January, with Jose Mourinho searching for an alternative to Spurs defender Danny Rose.
Losing out on Sandro to Conte will be a huge blow for Mourinho, who is keen to offload Luke Shaw.
