Juventus 'weighing up summer move for Chelsea's Emerson Palmieri'

Juventus are reportedly considering moving for Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri during this summer's transfer window.

The 27-year-old joined Lyon on loan last August and has been an important player for the French outfit this season, featuring on 30 occasions in all competitions, contributing one goal and two assists in the process.

Emerson still has more than two years left to run on his contract at Chelsea, but the full-back is widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge in the upcoming market.

According to Calciomercato, Juventus have been monitoring the Italy international 'for several years' and view him as the ideal player to feature at left-back for the club next season.

The report claims that the Old Lady are planning to approach Chelsea in the coming weeks to discuss a possible move during this summer's transfer window.

Emerson has made 71 appearances for his parent club since arriving from Roma in 2018, contributing two goals and five assists in the process.
