Juventus are ready to bid for Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri in January.

Emerson is preparing to leave Stamford Bridge after finding himself relegated to a reserve as manager Frank Lampard goes with Ben Chilwell as his first-choice left-back.

A return to Italy has been mooted for the former Roma defender and Calciomercato.com says Juve are keen.

Juve coach Andrea Pirlo isn't convinced by his left-back options and has approved a move for Emerson.

Juve are likely to seek an initial loan deal with the option to make it permanent at the end of this season.
