Juventus eager on Chelsea’s Emerson

Juventus are still in a big race for the Serie A crown. The champions of Italy have one point lead over Lazio and are three points ahead of Inter Milan in the standings and despite that race still being far from over, new deals are being discussed in Turin. The club is slowly preparing for a hectic summer that will also see Euro 2020 and Copa America 2020 action.

One of the positions Juve could be looking to improve during the next transfer window could be left-back. According to Calciomercato, Juventus want to bring in Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea this summer. The Bianconeri see the 25-year-old defender as the ideal man to provide cover and be a backup to Alex Sandro. The Brazilian has been great for Juve, but the club is obviously thinking about the future.

Emerson has racked up 18 appearances across all competitions for Frank Lampard’s Chelsea this season.
