Juventus are proving a tough nut for Chelsea to crack over their bid for Alex Sandro.

The Brazil left-back is a priority target for Blues boss Antonio Conte, but Juve are refusing to do business.

Sky Italia says a new bid worth a staggering €70 million has been submitted by Chelsea - and immediately rejected by Juve.

Conte may be forced to look elsewhere for a new left-back with Juve under huge pressure not to sell after losing Leonardo Bonucci to AC Milan last week.

For his part, Sandro would be open to a move to London, though has assured Juve management he is also happy where he is.
