There have been many occasions over recent years where Chelsea have continued to be linked to the same player season after season.
One of those players over recent times is Juventus left back Alex Sandro, whom of which I lost count of the times I’ve read that Chelsea were close to signing him, such as this report from ESPN in 2018.
However, the Brazilian international never arrived for whatever reasons, and Chelsea ended up signing Emerson Palmieri from Roma instead.
Now in an ironic twist to the story, Chelsea could be offered another chance to sign Sandro, in exchange for Emerson.
According to Tuttosport (as cited by Football London), due to the financial uncertainty as a result of the global pandemic, Juventus could propose a swap deal with Chelsea offering Sandro in as part of the deal to sign Emerson – who they are targeting this summer.
Sandro turned 29 in January and was initially targeted by Chelsea in his peak, so it is unclear if they would pursue him again now.
