Juventus have reportedly decided that they are prepared to double the wages of defender Alex Sandro.
Throughout the summer, Sandro was a target for Chelsea and although Juventus were successful in keeping hold of the left-back, there has been talk of renewed interest from the Blues.
Chelsea are allegedly prepared to spend as much as £60m in order to complete a signing regarded as high priority by head coach Antonio Conte, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus are ready to respond with an offer of their own.
The Serie A giants are said to be ready to give the Brazilian a package of €5m (£4.5m) per year, as well as a contract which would be extended until 2022.
The 26-year-old has scored six times in 81 appearances since leaving Porto for Juve in 2015.
