Long-term Chelsea target Alex Sandro has taken a step closer to leaving Juventus, according to reports in Italy.
As per a report from Corriere dello Sport, as cited on Calciomercato, the player could be on the move in the summer with the two parties still some way apart in terms of negotiating a new deal.
The player’s wage demands are reportedly the sticking point, with Sandro said to be asking for wages in the region of €5 million a year.
Sandro is under contract in Turin until 2020 and the Old Lady have been keen to tie him down to a new deal.
The Brazilian has been a long-term target for Chelsea and has often been linked with moves to the Premier League.
Sandro came close to joining the Blues during Antonio Conte’s time in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Paris Saint-Germain are also admirers of the player and have been the most recent team to be linked with a deal to sign him from Juventus.
