Alex Sandro wants to leave Juventus and that had put Chelsea in the hot seat to sign him. However, as per reports today, Manchester United have jumped ahead of the Premier League champions in the race.
Jose Mourinho is keen on signing a left back and has set his sights on Sandro. The full-back has fallen out with key members of the Juve backroom staff and is unhappy at the club.
Antonio Conte was desperate to sign the Brazilian left back in the summer. The Chelsea board made several attempts to sign him but were rebuffed by Juventus and then by the defender himself.
United were keen on signing Danny Rose but Tottenham are not willing to sell him in January. With the Brazilian available, Mourinho has decided to throw in his hat and sign another star from the jaws of Chelsea.
