Chelsea assure unhappy Conte they'll land Alex Sandro for him

Chelsea are ready to revive their plans to sign Juventus fullback Alex Sandro.

The Mirror says Chelsea are ready to make a fresh move for £60million Juventus wing-back Sandro — to prove their commitment to Antonio Conte.

The champions have no intention of losing their Italian manager without a fight next summer, despite reports in Italy suggesting he could move on to AC Milan.

Conte is into the second year of his three-year deal with the Blues, having opted for a substantial pay-rise during the summer rather than an extension.

Juventus rejected a string of bids from the Premier League champions for highly-rated Sandro during the summer.

The Italian title-holders are now trying to persuade the Brazil international to sign a new £5million-a-year deal.

Sandro, however, remains intrigued by the possibility of a move to English football.
