La Gazzetta dello Sport now claim Juventus and Sandro are having issues in the latest round of contract talks.
Sandro wants £4.3million a season to put pen to paper on a new deal, while Juventus do not want to go higher than £2.6m.
The Brazilian, 27, is under contract at Juventus until 2020 and continues to be a crucial part of Massimiliano Allegris side.
Sandro has started all but one of Juventus games this season and has chipped in with one assist from left-back.

Mourinho was keen on Sandro with doubts over the future of Luke Shaw at the club.
However, Mourinho seems to have performed a U-turn on Shaw and approved a new long-term contract worth £50m.

Shaw has re-established himself at Old Trafford and is now the starting left-back at the club.
The defenders performances also led to him re-capturing a place in Gareth Southgates England squad, although he has missed this international break due to a knock.
United are set for a busy January window as Mourinho aims to inject some new blood into a squad currently struggling for consistency.
