Chelsea loanee Emerson Palmeiri has given Thomas Tuchel a transfer decision to make as he claims he would like to stay with Lyon following the conclusion of his loan spell at the club. The Italy international is contracted with the Blues until 2024.
The left-back moved to Stamford Bridge from AS Roma in 2018 for roughly £18million. He had fallen out of favour as Ben Chilwell joined the club in 2020 for £45million, resulting in his loan to the Ligue 1 side.
He has impressed there, racking up 25 league appearances for the club. That’s also despite the fact that the Blues were reportedly willing to pay to cut short his loan deal following a season long injury to Chilwell.
