Chelsea strike personal terms with Alex Sandro, but Juventus demand...

Chelsea have struck terms with Juventus fullback Alex Sandro.

The Brazilian has agreed £6million-a-year with Chelsea and could be on his way to Stamford Bridge in a £60million deal after the Blues already had an offer knocked back for the defender.

An offer of £45million was turned down from the Old Lady, with Antonio Conte poised to come back in with a new offer which he believes will be enough to lure him away.

Corriere delle Sera says the 26-year-old is desperate for a move to West London, but only if the Serie A champions receive £60m.

Juventus' CEO Beppe Marotta recently said: “A substantial offer has arrived.

“We have no intention of selling anyone, but if a player decides to leave, as has happened in previous years, then at the end of the day he has to go, because we don't keep anyone against their will.

“But at the moment there are no such situations and I hope nobody will leave."
