Transfer News: Juventus interested in Chelsea duo Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri

According to transfer news from Football.london, Juventus are keen on signing the Chelsea duo of Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri. The Bianconeri believe they have a bit of an advantage in securing these signings due to the relationship they have with Chelsea transfer supremo Marina Granovskaia.

Juventus could look at a summer of change after a disappointing season so far. They were knocked out of the Champions League by Porto and are well on course to miss out on the Serie A title.

There could be some transfer activity and two of them could involve the Italian pair of Jorginho and Emerson.

Jorginho has always been linked to a switch back to the Serie A and his agent has often spoken about the same. Back in 2019 when Maurizio Sarri joined Juventus, Jorginho was touted to move too.

However, it looks like more than Jorginho, his Chelsea mate Emerson is a more realistic signing for the Italian side.

Emerson has slipped down to the fringes at Chelsea in the presence of Marcos Alonso and Ben Chilwell. He has played very few minutes this season and a move away from the club looks likely.
