Roma Left Back Set To Reject Liverpool For Chelsea
Published: January 19, 2018 
Due to an anterior knee ligament injury in a match against Genoa last April, his progress has slowed down but this has not prevented the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea from courting the defender.
''Chelsea are a concrete possibility, absolutely. Now the two clubs are talking, we’ll see if they reach a positive conclusion,'' Emerson's agent, Fernando Garcia told Calciomercato.
''Obviously, Emerson would love to play in the Premier League and it’d be a dream to work with Conte, as he is among the best coaches in the world.''
Santos-born Emerson Palmieri represented Brazil at U17 level before changing his international allegiance to Italy.
The 23-year-old has a contract with Roma until June 30, 2021.
