Emerson Palmieri agent confirms Juventus want Chelsea defender

Juventus are interested in signing Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri during this summer's transfer window, according to the Italy international's agent.

Emerson has been strongly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in recent months, and the speculation has recently gathered pace with the full-back being left out of his side's last two Premier League matches.

Luis Fernando Garcia, who represents the 25-year-old, has confirmed that Juve, in addition to Inter Milan, are interested in a deal for his client at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

"We know very well about Juventus's interest but also about Inter. So far there has been no talk of a transfer with Chelsea, nor has there been any official offer." he told Juvenews.eu.

"I believe that until May there will be no official offers from the two clubs. In the summer we will decide what to do."

Emerson has made 18 appearances for Frank Lampard's side during the 2019-20 campaign but has only started one of Chelsea's last six league matches.
