Chelsea tell Juventus the only player they want in Emerson swap deal

Chelsea have rejected Juventus’ offer to swap Emerson Palmieri for Mattia De Sciglio, according to reports in Italy. The Blues are thought to be open to the idea of Emerson leaving in the next transfer window. According to Corriere dello Sport, the Blues have already turned down one proposal from Juventus. The Serie A giants are trying to drive down the asking price for Emerson after Chelsea put a £37million price tag on the defender. Juventus are not willing to offer more than £27m for Emerson, who has two years left on his contract at Chelsea. The Serie A giants were prepared to let De Sciglio join Chelsea in exchange for Emerson, but the London club want Alex Sandro, who has long been linked with a transfer to the Premier League. The 29-year-old is Juventus’ No.1. left-back and is valued between £36m and £45m by his club. Source: Metro
