Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly ‘convinced’ that they can beat Chelsea to the signing of Brescia midfielder Sandro Tonali.
According to reports in Italy, the Turin side have already started working on a deal to sign the player who has been dubbed as ‘the next Andrea Pirlo’.
Tonali has impressed in Serie B for Brescia and has drawn comparisons to the former Inter, Milan and Juventus midfielder, both for his style of play and messy hair.
Despite playing his football in the Italian second tier, Tonali is already valued at a reported €25 million by Brescia, amid interest from some of the top sides in Europe.
Inter have also been linked with the player in recent weeks, but owner Massimo Cellino is refusing to lose the player on the cheap.
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri is said to be an admirer of the player could look to pursue a deal in either the January or summer window.
