Deal Agreed – Chelsea set to finalize deal to sign 23-year-old

Emerson Palmieri to Premier League Champions Chelsea is fast gathering momentum, though Gazzetta Dello Sport claimed no offer had been submitted.

Notwithstanding, there has been a couple of movement, with the very same publication claiming that both teams have agreed on the €25m valuation, now all that is left is for Antonio Conte’s team to work out payment modalities.

With their resolve not to spend much during the winter transfer window if possible, the Blues are set on their stance of a loan move for the 23-year-old, with a view to making it permanent when the season ends if they so desire.

However, that doesn’t seem to go down well with Italian Serie A side AS Roma, who seem determined on getting cash for the left full-back down the line, wanting the view to make it permanent to be a compulsory one so that, notwithstanding what happens in the next couple of months, they get their €25million.

That could suit the Blues, although there’s a strong feeling the defender is possibly a stop gap for the team now before attempting to get a more impressive player for the position next summer.

The Blues returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 4-0 victory over Brighton in the English Premier League.
