Chelsea were keen to improve their options in the left back position by bringing Juventus’ Alex Sandro to the club to, but it now seems as though they have ended any interest in the player, as reported by the Daily Star.
Chelsea have been following the player for some time and it was thought that they would renew their interest in the player this month, but the Blues are now seemingly out of the race to sign him.
Fellow Premier League side Manchester United have shown a strong interest in the player, leading to Juve slapping an asking price of £60 million on him, a fee which Chelsea feel is too high.
Roma’s Emerson Palmieri is now being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge and it appears that he is now the club’s preferred option at left-back and as such, Man United will have a clear run at Sandro, if they do wish to sign him.
Palmieri’s was quoted as saying that a move to Chelsea would be a dream, time will tell if his dream becomes a reality.
