Manchester City are reportedly keen on signing the Juventus defender.

Alex Sandro of Juventus FC controls the ball during the TIM Cup match between Juventus and Atalanta BC at Allianz Stadium on February 28, 2018 in Turin, Italy.

According to a report from the Sun, Manchester City sent scouts to Old Trafford on Tuesday night to watch Juventus star Alex Sandro in action.

Pep Guardiola is rumoured to be on the look-out for a new left-back in order to provide more competition for Benjamin Mendy and Sandro, 27, would be just the ticket.

The Brazilian full-back joined the Turin giants from Porto in the summer of 2015, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £21 million, and he has gone on to make 125 appearances in all competitions for the Old Lady.

Whilst Sandro is reportedly happy at Juventus, the Sun claims that Manchester City will try and tempt the Italian side with a £50 million offer for the left-back, after being impressed with what they saw on Tuesday night.

And if they are successful in signing the Brazil international, he would surely turn out to be a real hit at the Etihad.
