Alex Sandro will either move to Chelsea or remain at Juventus despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain, according to Matt Law.

The Daily Telegraph reporter has taken to Twitter to shed light on Sandro’s situation amid relentless speculation linking the defender with a move to the Premier League champions.

Chelsea are thought to be ready to table a £61m bid to sign the Brazil international in the summer transfer window.

Antonio Conte is looking to improve his full-back options ahead of a return to the Champions League next season given his reliance on Marcos Alonso and Victor Moses last term.

However, the Blues have failed to get a deal over the line for the Brazilian full-back and are now facing competition from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.

But Daily Telegraph journalist Law revealed in his Twitter update that he doesn’t expect Sandro to move to the French club.

Law wrote: “For those asking, my personal opinion is that, despite PSG interest, Alex Sandro will either join Chelsea or stay at Juventus.”

Chelsea have yet to announce any new signings in the 2017 summer transfer window despite their big Premier League rivals all making additions to their squads.
