Juventus withdraw from race to sign Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri?

Juventus will reportedly not be signing Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri on deadline day.

The Italy international has been heavily linked with a return to his homeland throughout the summer transfer window.

As well as Inter Milan, Juve have allegedly been showing interest in the left-back, who is free to leave Stamford Bridge for the right price.

However, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Serie A champions are not holding discussions with the 26-year-old.

Inter are also out of the race to bring in the former Roma player having finalised a deal for Parma's Matteo Darmian.

With Ben Chilwell now deemed first choice by Frank Lampard, Chelsea will try to part ways with either Palmieri or Marcos Alonso before close of play on Monday.
