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.
The Express 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. The 26-year-old has also been linked to a number of top clubs such as Manchester City, while Paris Saint-Germain have shown an interest.
It has emerged Manchester United have added Sandro to their shopping list, with The Times reporting that the Juventus player is their "preferred option."
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.
