# Chelsea ready to revive bid for Alex Sandro

Antonio Conte is desperate to add options at both wing-back position this summer but has had no luck thus far.

Chelsea were looking to sign Danilo and Benjamin Mendy, but the pair completed big-money transfers to Manchester City from Real Madrid and Monaco respectively.

For much of the summer, the Blues have been chasing Juventus standout Alex Sandro and have already seen a €56m bid rejected for the Brazilian.

Italian source [TMW](https://www.transfermarketweb.com/?action=read&idsel=187209) report that Chelsea are ready to up their bid for the player, but both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are looking to sign the former Porto star.

Juventus have been trying to agree a new contract with Sandro to persuade him to stay at the club, but it’s believed that the left-back is keen on a potential transfer to Chelsea that would make him the most expensive defender of all-time.

Conte wants to bring in several more players this summer and with a new fullback a priority, Chelsea may look to conclude a deal for Sandro before they bring in anyone else.
