Emerson Palmieri's agent has broken the silence over his future at Chelsea.
Emerson has struggled for game time at Chelsea this season following the £50million arrival of Ben Chilwell from Leicester City in the summer transfer window.
The Italian left-back has made just eight appearances across all competitions for Frank Lampard’s side, with just three of those coming from starts.
Despite his lack of regular game time at club level, Emerson has continued to feature for Italy and has previously been linked with a move to Serie A.
Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli have all been suggested as potential destinations in the January transfer window, but Emerson’s agent Fernando Garcia says he has received no concrete offers for his client.
“It’s difficult to say anything at the moment,” he told Inside Futbol.
“There have been no official offers. I’ve not had any offers to find out [if Chelsea will sell].
“There have only been enquiries. I will not speak about the clubs [involved].”
Emerson is not the only Chelsea player who has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Kepa Arrizabalaga, Fikayo Tomori, Jorginho and Marcos Alonso also attracting interest.
However, even if Chelsea want to sell this month it might not be a straightforward process, with Lampard explaining the club’s stance on Friday.
"We’ll see what happens with the squad because we’re in a very tough time in terms of Covid and how the transfer market looks," Lampard said during his pre-Morecambe press conference.
"So anything that happens, player by player, would have to be right for the club, for the player, dependent on contracts, and then myself.
"So it’s not simple. Generally, you want to have a squad that has a real balance to it, one that enables players to get minutes but also have good competition at the same time.
"I’m not saying this negatively about my players because I have a human side to me that understands why players are unhappy when they are not playing.
"I see that. But I just can’t make the decision to play everyone and that can be challenging."
