As the Italian giants have already departed with their star defender Leonardo Bonucci, they don't want to lose Sandro. Juventus has offered Sandro a new £84,000-a-week deal to keep him.
The former Porto star, however, is failing to live up to expectations of the club so far this season. He has been benched several times this season. At the same time, Chelsea has resumed talks regarding Sandro's transfer.

The blues are really desperate to sign Sandro as they need to tighten their defense. juve boss Max Allegri has clearly stated that none of his players are living the club this summer.
Chelsea is prepared to pay $130,000, weekly for him but it doesn't seem to impress the Juve's boss and Conte wants his ex-player to demand a move in writing. The Players are reluctant to make official transfer requests to the club but it can cost them loyalty payments in their contracts.
