Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal with Lazio over Emerson Palmieri.
Calciomercato.com says Chelsea are open to selling 27-year old left-back Emerson on loan this summer, with Lazio his most likely destination.
The deal is thought to be a one-year loan with an option to buy clause of £8million.
The Italy international remains the main target for the Roman club's left wing.
Emerson spent last season on loan at Olympique Lyon, making 28 Ligue 1 appearances and helping them to a fourth-placed finish.
With the French side not offering the full-back a permanent contract, he is back on the market.
