Negotiations between Inter and Chelsea over Emerson Palmieri are proceeding quickly according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Tuttosport.
Inter are keen to wrap up a deal for the Brazilian born naturalised Italian wing-back as soon as possible in order to complete their recruitment as far as the wing-back department is concerned, having also already signed Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid.
The report from the Turin based news outlet explains that Chelsea value 25-year-old Emerson at €30 million but Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta would like to do a double deal for both Emerson and Olivier Giroud, who Inter manager Antonio Conte wants brought in to reinforce the attack.
Inter had tried to sign Giroud back in January but failed to do so and soon after Chelsea triggered an option to extend his contract. Despite this, Inter have never dropped their interest in the 2018 World Cup winner.
