Chelsea's Alex wanted by Juventus after being snubbed by Uruguay defender Lugano


Juventus have their sights on Chelsea defender Alex after failing to lure Uruguayan centre half Diego Lugano away from Fenerbahce.
Lugano looks set to sign a new contract to keep him in Istanbul and the Italians are lining up a £10million move for Alex, who moved to Stamford Bridge from PSV Eindhoven in 2007.
Andre Villas-Boas is looking to freshen his squad by selling some of the players he does not expect to feature in the first team, and is unlikely to stand in the way of Alex.

Alex missed the first four games of  pre-season with a knee injury but returned in the final of the Barclays Asia Trophy last Saturday.
