Chelsea are hoping to offload fullback Emerson Palmieri during the winter transfer window.

The 26-year-old was linked with a move away in the summer, but nothing materialised.

According to Repubblica, per Tuttomercatoweb, Chelsea are happy to move Emerson along for a decent fee.

He is now third choice behind Ben Chilwell and Marcos Alonso for the left back slot.

The most pressing interest comes from Napoli.

They want to do a deal in January, and they already have a Chelsea player on loan in Tiemoue Bakayoko.

The clubs should be able to negotiate in good faith based on their work to complete that deal.
