Juventus to sign Chelsea's Emerson Palmieri as part of Maurizio Sarri deal?

Juventus are reportedly keen to include Emerson Palmieri in any deal for Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri.

The Italian has just guided the Blues to the Europa League and third place in the Premier League table, but the former Napoli man has been strongly linked with a return to his homeland.

Reports emerged on Friday night that Sarri had requested his exit from Stamford Bridge, and Tuttosport claims that the 60-year-old may not be the only person to swap West London for Turin.

The report suggests that Juventus want to secure the signing of Palmieri and would look to factor any fee into the compensation that they would pay for Sarri.

A figure of €30m (£27m) could be proposed to Chelsea, although it appears unlikely that the English side would be prepared to accept that offer.

The left-back made 27 appearances in all competitions this season.
