Chelsea have stalled over making a January move for Juventus full-back Alex Sandro due to the Italian club's inflated asking price.
Antonio Conte is looking to further bolster his squad after bringing in Ross Barkley last week for £15million with the Blues still fighting on four fronts.
They were encouraged by the fact that Sandro is looking to secure a move away from Conte's former club, who are willing to let him go if the right offer comes in.
However, The Telegraph report that the Serie A champions are looking for a fee in the region of £60million for the Brazilian, which is more than Chelsea are prepared to pay.
