Juventus and Inter are set to fight for the signature of Chelsea left back Emerson Palmieri, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.
The report details how the Bianconeri are incredibly keen to sign the 25-year-old Italian Brazilian, who is contracted to the Blues until 2022. The player would be their ideal backup for Alex Sandro, with coach Maurizio Sarri knowing the player well from his time in charge of the West London club. Emerson is keen to leave Chelsea in the summer due to his low wages and lack of regular playing time under coach Frank Lampard.
Inter are also interested in signing Emerson, the report continues, as the club are looking to strengthen their wing back department. Both clubs are also interested in Barcelona full back Junior Firpo, and the player could be included in the deal for Bianconeri midfielder Miralem Pjanic. Both Inter and Juventus agree that Junior Firpo isn’t worth more than €25 million, far from the €40 million valuation made by Barcelona.
