Juventus has a strong interest in acquiring Italian left-back Emerson Palmieri, who could leave Olympique de Marseille after one season in which he made 37 appearances. The player is reportedly a key target for Luciano Spalletti, who previously managed him at AS Roma ten years ago and now seeks to build a team with players in whom he has confidence.
Although Emerson recently expressed his happiness at Marseille and noted he has a year remaining on his contract with an option for an additional year, the 31-year-old would be willing to make the transfer. Potential negotiations could be made easier because Emerson has the same agent as Douglas Luiz and due to the good relationship between Juventus and Olympique de Marseille. The Italian international has 29 caps for his country, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €9.00m.
