Chelsea have slapped a €40 million price tag on the head of defender Emerson Palmieri according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.
The Brazilian born Italian national team player appears set to be offloaded by the Premier League club in the coming months and both Inter and their arch rivals Juventus have shown an interest in signing him with both clubs looking to bolster their full back department.
The report from the Rome based news outlet goes on to explain that Juventus do not want to exceed paying €25-30 million for the former Roma player and the report also adds that there is possible room for negotiations between Chelsea and interested clubs, who may manage to get him for a little less than Chelsea are demanding.
This season Emerson has made 18 appearances across all competitions to date. In his time on the park he has contributed a single assist.
