Roma star Emerson could be just days away from completing a move to Italian rivals Juventus.
It is understood that the player has already agreed terms with the Old Lady but the two clubs have failed to reach a deal so far.
The 28-year-old has reportedly turned down a move to Real Madrid after the Turin giants offered him a four-year contract worth £2.8m a season.
Roma would prefer to sell the Brazilian to a foreign club but he seems to have his heart set on a move to the Delle Alpi.
Some reports in Italy today claim that the Giallorossi are now willing to do business even if the relationship between the two clubs is not the best.
Whispers claim that the capital side will net close to £9m for the former Bayer Leverkusen ace.
Even if there is the possibility that Juve could offer them a lower fee plus a player – either Enzo Maresca or Brescia’s Francelino Matuzalem who they are close to signing.
