Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri has admitted there is a chance he could leave the club and return to Serie A - but says he is in no rush to move on.
The 25-year-old joined the Blues from Roma in 2018 but has never managed to cement a regular place in the starting line-up at Stamford Bridge, and has made just 14 Premier League appearances this season.
The likes of Juventus and Inter Milan are said to be monitoring the situation, and speaking to Sky Sport Italia Emerson said he could be interested in going back to Italy.
"I was very happy in Serie A, including with the culture, which is also why I chose to play for Italy," he said.
"A return to Serie A could happen, but I have a contract with Chelsea and I'm in no rush to go anywhere."
Emerson has played for a number of different managers at Chelsea, and seemed particularly impressed with the two Italians who he worked under.
"It has been a wonderful experience at Chelsea, as first there was [Antonio] Conte, so obviously it was easier to deal with an Italian coach," he added.
"As for [Maurizio] Sarri, I've no words for what a marvellous year we had, as we finished third in the Premier League, reached the Carabao Cup final and won the Europa League. We can't complain!
"I learned a lot from Conte, he proved himself to be a fantastic coach, but I think for the time we worked together and the results we achieved, I got even more from Sarri."
Emerson also praised Frank Lampard for the impact he has had so far, saying: "He is very intelligent, he is young and he knows how to communicate with the players.
"He was an idol here at Chelsea; he will grow a lot. All the fans are in love with him. Every day I try to listen to him, he was a fantastic player, I've never seen a midfielder capable of 400 goals. Before, I only saw him in video games, working with him gives you a wonderful feeling."
