Juventus will have to fight off Spanish giants Real Madrid if they want to sign Porto full-back Alex Sandro.

The Bianconeri have been eager to sign another left-back this summer to act as a long-term replacement for Patrice Evra who is now 34.

However, according to Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo, Los Blancos manager Rafa Bentiez is very keen on bringing the Brazilian to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Porto are thought to be unwilling to sell after already losing right-back Danilo to Madrid earlier this summer. Any deal between The Old Lady and the Portuguese side is likely to occur in the final days of the transfer window.

The 24-year-old is already a Brazil international with six caps for the Canarinho.

Sandro was a regular for Porto last season and played nine times in the Champions League.
