Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly interested in him

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

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

The 27 year was one of the standout players for the Serie A giants last term and enjoyed another productive season, scoring 4 goals and assisting 5 in 39 appearances.He helped the team to win their 7th consecutive league title.

The Brazil International has caught the attention many European giants after his outstanding displays in the past few season and has been heavily linked with a move to Premier League this summer. Both Manchester United and Chelsea have strong interest in him.

The Red Devils are expected to bolster their side after an underwhelming campaign last season. Their priority is adding defensive reinforcements as Jose Mourinho claimed earlier but are expected to sell few players to accommodate new signings.

Despite having the most clean sheets and the second best defensive record in the Premier League this season, the Portuguese manager is not happy as had to rely on auxiliary full-backs Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young.

Both Luke Shaw and Matteo Darmian are expected to leave this summer and the English side have already signed Porto teenager Diogo Dalot to sort their right-back position. Mourinho is a huge admirer of the Brazilian left-back for his versatility and wants to move for him.

The Blues could do without a move for Sandro as they already have Marcos Alonso, Emerson Pameiri and Kenedy for the wing-back position. But apart from the Spaniard, the other two’s future are quite uncertain.

They could bring the experience full-back to provide competition to Alonso in the next season.

Juventus will demand £52.8 million in any deal for Alex Sandro, reports Sport Mediaset.
