Chelsea rocked again as £73m bid for top defensive target is rejected

Chelsea are in trouble again this summer transfer window as another major bid has been rejected by Juventus for Alex Sandro.

The defender has been a major summer target for Antonio Conte’s Chelsea but Juventus have held firm their stance of not selling anymore of their stars.

Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci have all left this summer but with Chelsea right on their tails for Sandro, the Serie A champions have maintained a strong position not to sell.

The Brazilian left full back is reportedly on Chelsea’s radar, as the Calciomercato confirms, and they now report Chelsea have had a bid of up £73million rejected by the Italian giants.

Chelsea already have Marcos Alonso who has put in superb performances each match day since the start of last season but Conte wants more competition.

Calciomercato also reports that Conte and his senior colleagues at Chelsea were hoping Sandro will push through for a move to England but the defender is respectful of his current club and does not see the need for drastic measures.

Conte is furious with the current status of transfer activity at the club and was hoping to seal the deal to land the left back this summer but that looks highly unlikely.

Meanwhile some Chelsea fans would prefer Chelsea chase other targets that will not push the ‘perfect’ Alonso out of the team after his impressive displays in the famous Blue shirt.
