Most Read: Chelsea Prepare to Pay E70m for Alex Sandro
Chelsea
will reignite their interest in the Brazilian after failing to prise him away
from Turin in the summer, as he remains manager Antonio Conte's "No. 1 target."
The Spaniard has done a fine job since arriving
at Stamford Bridge last year and played an important role in the Blues' Premier
League title win, but Sandro is one of relatively few players who could provide
an upgrade in his position.
The 26-year-old joined the Bianconeri following
a successful spell at Porto, but he's taken his game to another level since
swapping the Primeira Liga for Serie A.
He's an outstanding contributor at both ends of
the field, utilising his pace, dribbling skill and expert delivery to create
chances for his side going forward—he's produced 13 assists in little more than
two years at Juventus—while his tireless running and ball-winning skills make
the side robust on the left flank.
The level of money involved is an enormous
amount to improve on an already strong position in the team, but Real Madrid's Marcelo is
perhaps the only left-back in the world better than Sandro; his presence
in the Brazil side also serves to explain why Sandro has only been given seven
caps for the Selecao.
It's no surprised he'd cost that much given his
importance to Juve, particularly in January, but he'd give Chelsea's prospects
and squad depth a healthy boost if he were to sign.
