Emerson Palmieri’s time in British football may end, and Lazio is reportedly interested in bringing his experienced left back back to Serie A.
The 30-year-old Italian International team, who has run for West Ham United 31 times in the 2024/25 Premier League season and contributed two goals, is now preparing to head to Rome.
According to Lazionews’ pass, Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri is eager to reunite with Emerson, who was reunited with Emerson during his former management tenure at Chelsea.
Sarri has maintained a strong admiration for the defender who can’t just be a left-back and also plays the left-wing back.

Surrey’s influence is said to be at the heart of Lazio’s interests. The club is eager to support the manager’s vision and they are exploring goals that suit his system and mindset.
Emerson has worked at Sarri at Stamford Bridge and is seen as a player who can be seamlessly integrated into Lazio’s game style.
Hammers manager Graham Potter doesn’t think Emerson is part of his long-term plan at the club.
Emerson has no future at West Ham
He hopes to prepare to rebuild his team after a bad season in 2024/25 to replace the Italian with a younger, more athletic option.
After three seasons at East London Club, Emerson may now be tempted to return to Italy, where he enjoyed some of the best football time.
With Lazio keen on strengthening their defense, Sarri is eager to reunite with a reliable former player, while Emerson has the potential to surplus compared to West Ham’s demands, a summer transfer seems likely to happen.
The Hammer is interested in the moves of Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko, another versatile player who can fill the gap that Emerson’s absence will bring to the club.
