Reports in Italy suggest Juventus are ready to snub a summer move for Chelsea full back Jose Bosingwa after judging the Portuguese star too expensive.
Chelsea are believed to be looking for around €12M for a player they shelled out €20M to buy from FC Porto in 2008, and the Bianconeri consider this too rich for them to stomach.
Having clocked up an impressive number of appearances in his first season at Stamford Bridge, the defender then suffered with injuries that restricted his time on the pitch with the Blues. However, despite regaining fitness, Bosingwa is still tipped to be shipped out of Chelsea this summer.
His destination will not be Turin though, with Juventus regarding the fee sought by Chelsea as too high and turning their attention to 24-year-old Hoffenheim full back Andreas Beck. The German should cost no more than half the amount Chelsea want for Bosingwa.
