Juventus are reportedly hoping to include Emerson Palmieri in the deal that takes Gonzalo Higuain to Chelsea.

According to Tuttosport, Chelsea could avoid paying €9m to loan Higuain until the end of the season by sending Emerson to Juve on a temporary basis.

However, the newspaper accepts the Bianconeri may prefer the cash and hold separate negotiations for the ex-Roma left-back, who is also a target for Atletico Madrid.

The Old Lady would be moving for the Italo-Brazilian as Leonardo Spinazzola looks set to leave Turin this month.
