Chelsea and Napoli in talks to conclude another winter transfer deal

Chelsea and Napoli are reportedly in talks over a loan deal for Emerson Palmieri ahead of the January transfer window

He has never really made the impact at the club that many had hoped and has constantly been linked with a move away from the club, despite all the speculation, he has stayed at the club over the past few windows.

He has been linked with a move back to Italian football over the past few windows, and amid all the transfer speculation, and now Repubblica claims the Italy left-back, 26, could be set to join Tiemoue Bakayoko at the San Paolo this winter.

Emerson joined the club from Roma in January 2018 for £17.5m but has never really made the impact that he would have liked, and only recently admitted that he could actually leave the club in the transfer window.

As quoted by Calciomercato, the Italian defender said: “Here at the national team I play, I have fun and I’m fine.

“The coach told me that the best solution for me is to play, at Chelsea or in another team, let’s wait for the next two months and see what will happen.

“Unfortunately I’m not playing at Chelsea, but I’m calm, I think things can improve in London or in another place.

“There was some interest in me but not concrete things. I’d like to return to play in Italy but I can’t say if it will happen in January or in five years.”

If the reports are true, we will wish him the best and hope that the money goes towards an adequate replacement
