Meanwhile, Italian giants Juventus are keen on signing Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri and will offer Alex Sandro as part of the deal, according to reports.

Emerson joined the Blues from Roma and has repeatedly been linked with a return to Serie A. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is eager to sign another left-back and has reportedly set his sights on Leicester City’s Ben Chilwell. Now, Tuttosport claim Juventus are confident of securing Emerson, with Chelsea quoting Juventus £22m for the player.

The Old Lady is now keen to explore the option of a swap deal, and are considering Alex Sandro as the possible candidate. Sandro has previously been linked with moves to Manchester United and Chelsea and was said to be a target for former Blues boss Antonio Conte. Juventus value the Brazilian at a higher price than Emerson, which may complicate matters somewhat. Emerson has vehemently denied he wants to leave Chelsea amid claims of a falling out with Lampard.
