Juventus have set their sights on Chelsea center back Alex following their failed attempt to secure Diego Lugano from Fenerbahce.
Lugano was believed to be on his way to Juve this summer but it seems the centre-back is on the verge of a new contract with the Turkish side.
Now according to reports, Juventus have turned their attention to Alex as they look to strengthen their defence ahead of the new season.
The 29-year-old has been named among the aging players that are linked with a move out of Stamford Bridge as new boss Andre Villas-Boas seek to inject young blood into the squad.
And the Portuguese is unlikely to stand in the way of the Brazilian should a reasonable offer comes in before the end of the transfer window.
Alex was signed from Brazilian side Santos back in 2007 before being loaned out to PSV Eindhoven.
Upon his return to the Bridge, he has managed to establish himself in the heart of the Blues defence over the past few seasons.
But the club's failure in both the Barclays Premier League and Champions League has thrown his future into uncertainty.
