Chelsea prepare opening bid for Juventus star

The incoming Champions League final could be the last Juventus game for Brazilian left-back Alex Sandro who is imposing himself as one of the best fullbacks in the world and has attracted the interest of the best European clubs, especially from the Premier League.

Alex Sandro joined Juventus from Porto for € 25 million in summer 2015 and a host of top clubs are being linked with a summer move for the former Porto star.

​According to a report of La Repubblica (via Libero) Chelsea are preparing an opening offer for the talented full-back with the Italian paper that claims that keeping Alex Sandro at the J Stadium will be ‘very hard’ for Juventus.

The Brazilian’s contract in Turin expires in 2020. The 26-year-old has three goals and five assists in 42 appearances in all competitions so far this season. A recent report of calciomercato.com claimed that the former Porto star will also be offered a contract extension by Juventus although the club could decide to sell the player if the Brazilian hands in a transfer request.
