Roma defender Emerson Palmieri insists he is “only thinking” about playing for Italy as “a man must only have his word.”
Emerson pledged his international allegiance to Italy back in March, despite turning out for Brazil at Under-17 level, and the left-back made it clear there was no going back on his decision.
“Now I’m only thinking about the Italian national team,” he told Ultimo Uomo.
“I think a man must only have his word. I thought long and hard about this decision, four months to be exact.
