Milan in talks over deal to sign Emerson

AC Milan are in talks over a move to land Chelsea left-back Emerson in the next transfer window.

According to Calcio Mercato, Milan are in talks with Emerson’s representatives as they look to strike a deal for the Chelsea defender.

The report claims that they are looking to tie up the signings of Malcom – a former Chelsea target – from Barcelona and Emerson.

Emerson has only made nine Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season, but has been preferred to Marcos Alonso at left-back in recent weeks.

Calcio Mercato claim that Chelsea are looking for a fee in the region of €25m to let Emerson leave the club in the summer.

The Italian international joined Chelsea from Roma in January 2018 for a reported fee of €20m, after he had impressed in the Serie A.

Chelsea’s transfer ban is also said to be a major factor in the deal, with the club less likely to sell if they are unable to sign players.
