Report: Juventus Refuse Fresh Bid from PSG for Alex Sandro

Juventus have reportedly turned down the advances of Paris Saint-Germain, as the Ligue 1 champions attempt to sign Alex Sandro. 

Sky Sport Italia (h/t Football Italia) reported the French club submitted an offer as they try to capture the full-back before the Italian transfer window closes on Friday. However, Juve reportedly have no interest in letting the Brazil international go before they start the defence of their Serie A crown.

Sandro has been at the centre of much speculation of the past years as multiple clubs seek to obtain his talents, but it appears the 27-year-old will remain in Turin.

The defender is viewed as the consummate modern left-back that can play comfortably advanced on the wing.

Sandro is a threat as he drives his opposition marker backwards, and he has the talent to produce goals and assists.

The Brazilian scored four and assisted five times in Serie A and Europe last season as Juve won the Italian league for a seventh time in a row.

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at the club has added fresh optimism within the Old Lady, and they will want to retain their best wide players to support the Portuguese icon.

Jonathan Johnson of ESPN FC said on Twitter Sandro remains a priority for PSG, as they also consider Tottenham Hotspur full-back Danny Rose:

Sandro has constantly been linked with a string of world-class clubs. Manchester United and Chelsea were reportedly interested last April.

Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Tom Coast of Sport Witness) reported the English giants were contemplating bids—with Juve valuing the player at more than €60 million (£52 million).

PSG have continued to track Sandro but it appears they will have no joy before Friday's transfer deadline.

Attacking full-backs have become the most desirable commodities in world football, and the modern game is heavily reliant on their progressive qualities and mobility.

Sandro played 36 games in Serie A and Europe last term, and Juve would not be able to replace his ability at this late stage.

PSG must strengthen if they want to mount a serious challenge for the UEFA Champions League, but it seems Sandro is temporarily off limits.
