Chelsea meet representatives in crunch talks for Alex Sandro
The Brazilian left-back – who can also operate as a wing-back – has been on the Blues radar for some time, with a rumoured offer of a club record of £61m set to be put on the table by the reining Premier League champions.
Their boss Antonio Conte was thought to have hit a brick wall earlier last week, though, as reports emerged that the Serie A had offered the 26-year-old Sandro a sizeable contract extension.
This has all changed, with Chelsea representatives flying out to Turin for crunch talks as they look to hammer out a deal and would both appease former Juventus boss Conte and bring in a player who would surely strengthen the Pensioners left-hand-side – a position which manager Conte feels tightening up in order to go for a second consecutive league title.
