Chelsea to return for Juventus defender Alex Sandro in January?

Chelsea reportedly plan to launch another offer for Juventus defender Alex Sandro during the January transfer window.

In the summer, the Blues were frustrated in their attempts to sign the left-sided player, who has helped Juve to two Serie A crowns during his time in Turin.

The 26-year-old remains a regular for the Italian giants, but it appears that Chelsea are ready to renew their interest in a player who is highly-rated by head coach Antonio Conte.

According to The Mirror, Chelsea are prepared to make a bid in the region of £60m to sign the Brazilian international, who would provide competition for Marcos Alonso at left wing-back.

The Stamford Bridge hierarchy are also hopeful that making every effort to sign Sandro would help tempt Conte into remaining in West London for a longer period.

Conte has continually been linked with a return to his homeland Italy, despite the terms on his Chelsea contract being improved during the summer.
