Emerson Palmieri has revealed he would be happy to return to Chelsea, but has declared he is unsure where he will be playing next season.
Emerson spent last season on-loan with Olympique Lyon.
He said: "I haven't spoken Thomas Tuchel just yet.
"I have a contract with Chelsea. I played there for three seasons and I have a lot of friends there and if I come back, I'll be happy.
"It's a good place and club for me. I don't know [whether I will return], let's see what can happen."
Emerson also revealed it was flattering that Chelsea wanted to recall him from his Lyon loan spell in January.
He remarked: "For me, it was a good season because I played a lot of games.
"Of course [it felt good that Chelsea wanted him back in January]. Lyon said no, so I didn't come back.
"It didn't depend on me and those conversations were between the clubs.
"Lyon said no and I respected that because when I signed there I signed for one year, not six months.
"But now I will go back to Chelsea for the pre-season and let's see what happens in the next month."
