According to transfer news from JuveFC, Chelsea have shown interest in Juventus fullback Alex Sandro. Juventus are willing to sanction a sale for the Brazilian to the highest bidder which in this case are the Blues.
Sandro has blown hot and cold during his Juventus career. Since making the move from Porto, he was a bright spark in Juve’s defence and attack. Capable of contributing to both ends, he quickly became a regular in the side under Max Allegri.
However, he hasn’t shown much improvement in the last few seasons but is a regular part of the squad under Andrea Pirlo this season. He has hardly shown his attacking skills this season, something which he was known for.
Chelsea already spent a fortune to sign Ben Chilwell this season. On Tuchel’s arrival though, the formation was switched and Marcos Alonso was installed as the wing-back. Despite that, the Blues are willing to spend around €20 million on him.
Juve don’t have a lot of depth in that position and it is still unclear as to who they will sign as a replacement. It had earlier been reported that the Italian side could ask for Emerson Palmieri in a swap deal.
This deal hardly makes sense from Chelsea’s perspective. They already have two first-choice left wing-backs in Alonso and Chilwell, who is adjusting well to the new role. Swapping a third-choice for Sandro makes things even more complicated unless they let go of someone like Alonso. By all means, Chelsea should avoid this deal and look to strengthen other required areas.
