Fernado Garcia, the agent to Roma defender Emerson Palmieri has claimed that the Italian club are in talks with Chelsea over a possible move for the Italy international.

 

Several left-backs has been linked with the blues in recent months – with Juventus’ Alex Sandro a serious target but his club’s demand has put  Chelsea off the radar. Marcos Alonso is said to be given more competition from his coach.

 

The 23yr old has only played twice for Roma since returning from a serious knee injury at the start of December, making just 25 Serie A appearances last term.

 

And Garcia, claims a move to Chelsea is a “concrete possibility”.

 

“There’s nothing certain yet,” he told Calciomercato. “We are in a phase of discussion and evaluation.

 

“Chelsea are a concrete possibility, absolutely. Now the two clubs are talking, so we will see if they reach a positive conclusion. I have no planned trips to Italy, at least for the moment, as we are waiting for developments.

 

“Obviously, Emerson would love to play in the Premier League and it would be a dream to work with Conte, as he is among the best coaches in the world.”
