Inter target Emerson Palmieri’s agent Fernando Garcia discussed a possible return to Italy for his client in an interview with Italian media outlet Tuttojuve.com earlier today.
“Emerson’s very happy at Chelsea, he’s doing well with his teammates and his coach. To date, I’ve had no contact with any club. He plays in one of the biggest leagues in the world. The only one who can say whether he will return to Italy is God, only he knows whether Emerson will return to play in Italy or not.”
Inter and Juventus are both interested in signing the 25-year-old Italian Brazilian, who is contracted to Chelsea until 2022. The player is seemingly out of coach Frank Lampard’s project at the London based club and so a move away seems likely for the former Roma full back, who is reported to appreciate the interest of the Nerazzurri and the Bianconeri.
Emerson has made 18 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1341 minutes. In that time, he has provided one assist, struggling to earn consistent minutes after being dropped for Marcos Alonso and Reece James. Inter are looking to strengthen their wing back department in the upcoming summer transfer window, with only Ashley Young being confirmed for the department.
