Juventus eye Chelsea target Alex Telles from Porto?

Juventus have reportedly placed emphasis on signing Porto defender Alex Telles in the summer transfer window, according to Tuttosport via Daily Star.

With just over a year left to run on his contract, the Brazil international is said to be attracting the attention of Chelsea, who look to replace Emerson Palmieri ahead of next season.

However, while the 25-year-old Italian has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus, the Turin giants are said to be looking at alternative options.

The aforementioned report claims, Porto full-back Alex Telles is reportedly the subject of interest from Juve boss Maurizio Sarri.

Telles, 27, has a wealth of experience in Italy having represented Inter Milan during the 2015-16 season.

The Brazilian ace is likely to cost somewhere in the region of £35million.
