Emerson Palmieri’s time in British football is reportedly interested in bringing the experienced left-back back to Serie A.
The 30-year-old Italian International, featured 31 times for West Ham United in the 2024/25 Premier League season and contributed two goals, is lined up for a potential switch to Rome.
According to La Republica, as broadcast by Lazionews, Lazio Manager Maurizio Sarri is eager to reunite with Emerson, a player he previously worked for during his management position at Chelsea.
Sally maintains strong admiration for defenders who cannot play not only as a left back but also as a left wing back.
Maurizio Sally wants to see Emerson again
Sally’s influence is said to be central to Lazio’s interest. As the club wants to support the manager’s vision, they are exploring a target that suits his system and mentality.
Emerson, who already worked under Salli at Stamford Bridge, is considered a player who can seamlessly integrate into Lazio’s playing style.
Hammers manager Graham Potter doesn’t see Emerson as part of his long-term plan for the club.
Emerson has no future at West Ham United
He is trying to replace the Italian with younger and more athletes as he prepares to rebuild his team this summer after a poor season in 2024/25.
After three seasons at the East London Club, Emerson could be seduced by a return to Italy, where he enjoyed his best football year as Rome.
Lazio is keen to bolster their defense, and Sally is eager to reunite with a trusted former player, and Emerson could potentially have a surplus on his requirements at West Ham, so it appears that a summer transfer is likely to occur.
