Inter and Juventus are set to battle it out for Chelsea and Italian national team defender Emerson Palmieri according to a report in today’s print edition of Tuttosport.

With Kwadwo Asamoah, Cristiano Biraghi and Victor Moses’ respective futures at Inter in doubt, Inter have identified Emerson as a player they could go in for to bolster the full back deparment.

Inter however face competition from their arch rivals for his signature and as per the report from the Turin based newspaper Juventus’ sporting director Fabio Paratici is willing to offer Adrien Rabiot to Chelsea as part of a deal for former Roma and Palermo man Emerson.

The inclusion of Rabiot in a deal could help negotiations between Juventus and Chelsea progress quickly with it understood that Chelsea are keen on the Frenchman who has struggled to cement a place in the Bianconeri team since his arrival on a free transfer.
