Emerson Palmieri lost his place in Chelsea’s starting XI in 2020, but that’s not stopped him attracting interest from Serie A.
Calciomercato states Juventus have ‘probed again’ for the 25-year-old and their chief football officer Fabio Paratici has long been an admirer.
It’s also claimed the Old Lady chief believes the Blues defender can be an ‘excellent solution’ for the left-back position.
The Turin club face two challenges to bring the Brazil-born Italy international to the club.
Frank Lampard’s side have asked €40m for the fullback since January and Juve would either need a discount or to include him as a part of a swap operation.
In addition to this, Inter Milan are also interested in the player.
Antonio Conte likes Emerson Palmieir ‘very much’ and he remains the first-choice target for the Nerazzurri manager.
Juventus will not only have to convince the Blues to offer them a discount, but also beat the San Siro club, if they are to sign the Chelsea left-back.
Chelsea and the Italian champions are also working on a swap deal involving Jorginho and Miralem Pjanić. Emerson’s topic has been discussed during conversations between the two clubs for the midfielders.
Calciomercato end their report by stating, ‘Juve run fast in this marathon of exchanges and ideas. London is and will be an important stop’.
