Alex Sandro 'to snub Chelsea move'

Alex Sandro is reportedly ready to reject a move to Chelsea in order to sign a new contract with Juventus.

Chelsea have been strongly linked with a move for the Brazilian left-back this summer, with a recent report claiming that the Premier League champions were closing in on a £61m deal for the 26-year-old.

However, according to The Sun, Sandro has been convinced to remain with the Italian champions, and the full-back will sign a new £93,000-a-week contract after rejecting the chance to move to English football.

Should Sandro pen a fresh deal in Turin, he would become the club's third highest-paid player behind Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala, who scored 32 and 19 goals respectively for the Italian giants last season.

Last term, Sandro scored three goals and registered five assists in 43 appearances for Juventus.
