Chelsea remain keen on signing Juventus star Alex Sandro but want the player himself to force through a move to Stamford Bridge, according to Italian reporter Gianluca Di Marzio.
Sandro is now one of Chelsea’s top transfer targets this summer but the Serie A side maintain that the player is not for sale.
Antonio Conte is even keener to strengthen his side’s full-back areas after the Blues 3-2 defeat at home to Burnley on Saturday.
Chelsea are refusing to give up in their pursuit of Juventus left-back Sandro, but they are now hoping that the player will hand in a transfer request and force through a move away from the club.
Chelsea have reportedly already had a bid of £60 million for Sandro turned down by the Sere A champions this summer.
Sandro joined Juventus from Porto back in 2015 and it is thought that he would be Chelsea’s first choice left-back, ahead of Marco Alonso, if the Blues were to complete a deal for him.
