Juventus are chasing a deal for Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmeiri.
Corriere dello Sport says whenever Alex Sandro has been absent, Juve coach Maurizio Sarri tends to shoehorn in a player from a different position with centre-midfielder Blaise Matuidi and right-back Mattia de Sciglio filling in.
Finding a more natural replacement in the form of Emerson is one solution to this problem.
Born in Brazil, the Italian international spent a season with Palermo before moving to Roma and impressing many onlookers.
Most of his time at Chelsea has been as a back-up but new boss Frank Lampard is giving him a chance to make the left-back slot his own this season.
