The Brazilian has been long linked with a move to Manchester United

Alex Sandro joined Juventus from Porto for a reported fee of £22.9 million in 2015, signing a 5 year contract. He has been an integral part of the team since joining them and developed himself as one of the best left-backs in the world.

The Brazilian has made 133 appearances for the Turin side, winning Serie A title in every season he has played in Italy.

The 27 year old has been one of the standout players and enjoyed another productive season, scoring 4 goals and assisting 5 in 39 appearances, helping the team to win 7th consecutive Serie A title.

Sandro has been long linked with a move to Manchester United and there have been strong rumours that the club could move for him this summer. Jose Mourinho is a big admirer of the defender for his versatility who can play anywhere in the left plank.

The Red Devil’s priority is to overhaul their defense as Mourinho is not happy as he had to rely on auxiliary full-backs Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young. Luke Shaw and Matteo Darmian are expected to leave this summer after falling out of favor with the manager.

It is believed that the Premier League giants will have to shell out more than £50 million to land the Brazil International, with business likely to be concluded after the World Cup is over.

But the Serie A giants are confident that Sandro will stay in Italy amid transfer links and convince him to turn down a move to England. Club’s CEO Giuseppe Marrotta said:

‘We will meet next week with his representative and I think there’s a desire to extend the contract.’

Juventus have made their priority to win the Champions league next season and it could be a huge boost for them if the left-back agrees to stay with them.
