Emerson Palmieri will report for pre-season training at Cobham after his year-long loan spell at Lyon. He spoke to the press about Lyon's refusal to send him back to Chelsea in January, 6 months before his original loan deal was supposed to end.
"For me personally it's been a good season, I played a lot of games. Let's see what happens in the future. I have a contract with Chelsea. I've played there for three years and won some things. If I need to go back there I'm happy.
"It's a good place for me, a good club. But I don't know. Let's see the next moves what can happen. I've not spoken to the coach.
"Lyon said no, it didn't depend on me. This was a conversation between clubs and I respect this because when I signed there I signed for one year not six months.
"So now I go back to Chelsea for pre-season and let's see in the next months. It was nice to know they wanted me. I have a contract there. It's my club for three seasons. I have a lot of friends there and if I come back there I am very happy."
