Inter deny opening talks over €20m move for Chelsea full-back Emerson Palmieri

Inter have rejected reports that they are in the midst of negotiations with Chelsea over the potential arrival of Emerson Palmieri.

The Serie A side have been linked with a €20 million (£18m/$22m) move for the Brazil-born star, who has struggled to find regular game time under the guidance of Frank Lampard.

The 25-year-old left-back, who has featured seven times for the Italy national team, has featured in only 19 games in all competitions this season and has not been involved in a Premier League encounter since featuring in a 2-2 draw against Arsenal in January, only making the bench in two of their subsequent nine outings.
