5 players who rejected Chelsea this summer

Sunderland v Chelsea - Premier League
REJECTED!

#3 - Alex Sandro

Juventus FC v Empoli FC - Serie A
Chelsea? No thanks!

Chelsea's #1 target for the summer was undoubtedly Alex Sandro. The Brazilian left-back was the subject of several bids by the club with a stunning €80 million bid also tabled.

Juventus were ready to sell him to Chelsea but only if he wanted to move to. The Serie A champions asked the player what he wanted to do when Chelsea made the €80 million and he decided that he wanted to stay in Turin.

Chelsea were ready to double his wages and also make his the world's most expensive defender but he decided to stay at Juventus as the club had already lost Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci. Antonio Conte was left disappointed and decided not to pursue any other left-back.
