Juventus Want Chelsea's Emerson Palmieri❗

Juventus have made contact with Chelsea over the availability of Emerson Palmieri, as per reports, with the Italian side keen to land their man in the January transfer window.

It is understood that the Serie A champions are eager to buy the player outright, with left-wing-back Leonardo Spinazzola ready to be loaned out to Bologna to make room for the Brazilian.

The 24-year-old has featured sparingly for the Blues since his arrival from Roma in January of 2018, taking in only 7 league Premier League appearances as Marcos Alonso continues to be preferred at the left side of defence.

With that in mind, Palmieri's agent spoke recently of interest from other clubs, though at that time did not reveal the parties responsible.

“I think all the top European clubs would like to have a player like Emerson Palmieri in their squad,” Fernando Garcia said.

Negotiations between the sides have made busier an already chaotic January at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea looking to offload Alvaro Morata on loan and bring in a replacement striker, potentially in the shape of AC Milan's Gonzalo Higuain.
