Three clubs planning January bid for Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri?

Juventus, Inter Milan and Napoli are reportedly all considering an approach for Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri in January.

Despite being made available for transfer during the summer, the Italy international has remained at Stamford Bridge for the first half of the season.

However, with the 26-year-old remaining down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, he is expected to depart the Blues at the beginning of 2021.

According to Sky Italia, three of Serie A's biggest clubs are contemplating whether to hand Emerson a return to Italy's top flight.

Although Chelsea will command a significant fee, Emerson's contract is due to expire in 2022, a factor which will be taken into consideration during negotiations.

The Premier League side may be prepared to accept a loan deal with the obligation to buy next summer.
