Inter circle Emerson as left back’s time in England appears to come to an end | OneFootball

Emerson Palmieri has not played a lot under Thomas Tuchel, and looks one of the most likely players to depart this summer.

Under normal circumstances he would probably have gone last summer, but he’s stuck around despite the signing of Ben Chilwell, playing very occasionally as an auxiliary centre back in a 3.

SempreInter cite Tuttosport in Italy in saying that Inter Milan are the team most likely to give him the exit he wants.

Their manager Antonio Conte knows him well from their shared time at Chelsea, and his transfer fee has probably reached a reasonably low point by now, where both clubs can find an agreement. SempreInter claim a price of €12.5m is what would be expected.

Chelsea have held out for more, but there is no point continuing with three left backs in the squad. Unless a big offer comes in for Marcos Alonso from somewhere, we think Emerson is the odd man out.
