Inter hope to be able to overtake Juventus in the race to sign Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport.
Both clubs have courted the Brazilian born Italian national team player for some time and are set to go head to head to sign him in the upcoming transfer window as they look to strengthen their defensive departments.
The report explains that Juventus are seeking an agreement with Chelsea which would see them pay up the fee across several instalments and such a situation would be more feasible if Mattia De Sciglio is to depart the club by the end of the month.
The 25-year-old has been with his current employers since January 2018 and is contracted to them until the end of the 2021/22 season. This season he has made 18 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored a single goal.
