Juventus to join Man Utd in race for Spurs defender if Alex Sandro joins Chelsea

12 nov 2017

Juventus could sell Alex Sandro in the summer as the Brazilian left-back is attracted by a move to the Stamford Bridge. The former Porto star has had a disappointing start to the season and according to our reporter in Turin Lorenzo Bettoni the Old Lady will sell him if she wants to wrap up an € 80 million deal for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Alex Sandro had reached an agreement with Chelsea this past summer but Juventus refused to sell him as they had already lost the likes of Leonardo Bonucci and Dani Alves, two of their defensive cornerstones last season.

If, however, Juventus are to make a big signing in the summer, they’d have to sell one of the jewels of their crown and Alex Sandro is the most likely to leave the Allianz Stadium in the summer given that his sale would potentially allow Juve to cash in somewhere in the region of € 70 million.

No coincidence the Daily Mail claims the Serie A giants are among the clubs interested in signing Tottenham left-back Danny Rose, one of the best left defenders in Europe at the moment. The British tabloid claims Rose would be open to leave North London in the summer although Real Madrid and Manchester United are also interested in welcoming the player’s services at the end of the season.
