Report: Juventus Eye Chelsea's Emerson as Potential Alex Sandro Replacement

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via JuveFC, the Serie A giants have Emerson on a list of players who they could sign to replace Sandro should he leave the club.

He is joined on said list by Owen Wijndal and Renan Lodi, who play for AZ Alkmaar and Atletico Madrid respectively.

Sandro is believed to be 'considering a move away' from Juventus in the summer and a move to England has been suggested, with the 31-year-old being heavily linked to the Blues in past windows.

Reports in March said that Emerson is 'expected' to return to the World and European Champions at the end of the season.

His wages are believed to be too much for Lyon to pay should they want to sign him on a permanent deal and they are said to be already looking for his replacement.

Emerson has made 30 appearances in all competitions for the French side this campaign, with one goal and two assists to his name.

He has also featured once for Chelsea as he came off the bench in their Premier League opener against Crystal Palace before completing his loan move to Lyon.
