Chelsea put £26m asking price on wantaway full-back Emerson with Leicester's Chilwell set to complete move

Chelsea want £26 million ($34m) for left-back Emerson Palmieri, who is surplus to requirements and interesting clubs such as Serie A giants Inter.

The 26-year-old is ready to leave Stamford Bridge having failed to convince Frank Lampard of his long-term worth, with Marcos Alonso set to battle impending new signing Ben Chilwell for a starting spot.

With Chilwell set to arrive this week in a £50m ($65m) deal from Leicester, the Blues are looking to raise funds and had instructed Emerson to begin looking for a move three weeks ago.
