The Premier League transfer market has a new protagonist. Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool are closely monitoring Emanuele Lulli, a 19-year-old Italian right-back who belongs to Roma. According to TEAMtalk, the three English clubs have received positive reports about the defender following his breakthrough in Serie A during the 2026/27 season.

The player has started four games out of the first five Italian league matches. His progress under Gian Piero Gasperini's guidance has led several European teams to start considering his potential acquisition.

The operation is still in a monitoring phase with no confirmed formal offers. However, Roma is already working on extending his contract, which expires in June 2027, due to the interest generated outside Italy.

The interest from English clubs arose during various visits by their scouts to Roma's matches. According to TEAMtalk, the observers initially attended to assess the Brazilian full-back Wesley but ended up including Lulli in their reports.

Initially, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Tottenham had been particularly focused on the Brazilian player. However, the performances of the young Italian prompted the scouting staff to pay attention to his development.

Chelsea has also joined the group of interested parties. Additionally, Manchester City, Manchester United, and PSG are among the clubs aware of the player's situation and monitoring his progress.

Consequently, competition could expand to several top Premier League teams, although there are currently no direct negotiations with the Italian club.

Lulli stands out for his ability to perform as a right-back in a four-man defense as well as a wing-back in a three-center-back system. His versatility allows him to be utilized in different defensive formations.

Emanuele Lulli's emergence in Roma's first team has been one of Gasperini's moves during the season's kickoff. The defender made his Serie A debut on August 24, 2026, starting against Fiorentina, just a week after turning 19.

Subsequently, he also started against Lecce, Atalanta, and Torino, accumulating around 320 minutes in his first four matches. During that period, he has not scored any goals or provided assists.

His progression follows his completion of the 2025/26 season with Roma's Primavera team, where he played 28 games and scored two goals in the Italian youth championship.

The interest from Premier League clubs has also prompted actions in Roma's offices. According to reports in Italy, the club is negotiating an extension until 2031, with discussions at an advanced stage.

This extension would allow the Italian side to strengthen its position against future offers. Currently, the defender's contract expires in 2027, a circumstance that could benefit suitors if no agreement is reached.

The coming weeks will be crucial to determine his future. While Roma aims to secure the renewal, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool will continue to evaluate his performances before deciding whether to turn their interest into a concrete offer.
