Chelsea to make one final bid for Alex Sandro

Chelsea are still prepared to launch one final bid for Alex Sandro this transfer window, despite falling short earlier in the summer, according to a report from the Telegraph.

Chelsea have been looking for a left wing-back all summer, to provide competition for Marcos Alonso and Sandro has been the main name linked with the Blues.

The Brazilian left-back was linked with Chelsea before the arrival of Alonso but the rumours cropped up again this summer after Chelsea qualified for the Champions League, meaning they need both depth and quality to their squad.

A deal looked very close earlier in the summer but the reports have slowed down recently but Chelsea are still ready to launch a £60 million bid before the window slams shut next week.

Juventus have come out in public to declare that Sandro is not for sale this summer but that will mean nothing if a huge offer comes in and if the player is tempted by a move to the Premier League champions.
