According to transfer news from The Sun, Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri is the subject of interest from Serie A clubs. The likes of Lazio, Roma, Inter Milan and Napoli are all after the Italian left-back. Roma are said to be the most interested party of those.
Emerson struggled massively to get any sort of game time this past season. He played a staggeringly low number of minutes, with most of them coming in cup competitions. Ben Chilwell has pretty much been Chelsea’s first-choice left-back/wingback.
Even Marcos Alonso was given chances to impress in the role. Emerson has only been used in a handful of games through the season. His long spells on the bench meant that he barely scraped through to the Italian side for the Euros, where Italy are now in the final.
However, it would seem that his stock remains high at least back in Italy. Initially, it was Lazio who showed interest before Roma stepped in. Jose Mourinho is looking at Emerson to cover for the injured Leorandro Spinazzola. Napoli and Inter Milan have also kept their eyes on him while Juventus have been linked previously.
Emerson has just one year left on his current deal. This transfer window represents the only chance for Chelsea to make any money off the deal. Clearly, he is not a part of the first-team plans and we should allow him to leave, even if it is at a reduced value.
