Even though it’s regular to see Italian newspapers talking about the future of Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri, it’s rare for the Brazilian press to have something on the player.
That’s why a report from Esporte Interativo caught our attention today. They claim that two Serie A sides are interested in taking him from Stamford Bridge.
The clubs are Inter Milan and Juventus, who have made approaches for the player, but are still to place their official bids for him.
It’s claimed that Palmieri’s situation at Chelsea is seen as ‘uncertain’, due to the arrival of Ben Chilwell from Leicester City.
Esporte Interativo points out that Emerson Palmieri would fight for a place against Alex Sandro at Juventus. It’s a different situation at Inter Milan, who look for a younger alternative to Ashley Young and Kwadwo Asamoah.
Palmieri has been heavily linked to a departure to Italy this summer, with several reports saying he was close to signing for the Nerazzurri. Now with Chelsea confirming the arrival of Chilwell this week, there’s no doubt the rumours about the Brazil born player will grow in the coming days.
