Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri has agreed personal terms with Inter Milan.

Calciomercato.com says a five-year deal worth £1.9million a season has been offered to the left-back.

The Blues could settle for a deal worth £20million plus bonuses for the 26-year-old defender and coach Antonio Conte knows that his ties with the club, where he oversaw Premier League glory in 2017, are no guarantee of a cheaper asking price.

Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is hopeful of persuading Chelsea to part with Palmieri for less than their initial valuation of the former Roma star, who has not made a Premier League appearance since January.

The Serie A giants sealed the signing of right-back Achraf Hakimi from Real Madrid for £36m earlier this month and are now keen to strengthen on the opposite flank.
