Juventus have opened official negotiations with Roma for Emerson, while Philippe Mexes is at the centre of a contract battle.
It was reported that Bianconeri transfer guru Luciano Moggi met with Roma's Director of Sport Franco Baldini late last night to discuss Emerson's future.
The Brazilian has long been in agreement with the Turin side, but his current club had threatened to leave him on the bench rather than sell him to their arch rivals.
However, after he rejected a £12m move to Real Madrid and began legal proceedings to sue Roma for unpaid wages, it seems as if Baldini has caved in.
The Giallorossi have other matters on their mind, as several news services also revealed that they had signed a contract with Philippe Mexes and registered it with the Italian FA.
The defender is still tied to Auxerre for another two seasons, but he is locked in a legal battle with the French side over his buy-out clause.
According to Mexes he can walk away for as little as £3.5m, but Auxerre have made it clear they won't release him for less than £5m. The player has now sent an official letter warning the side he won't turn up for pre-season training.
FIFA are set to convene a tribunal of arbitration in order to rule on this on-going disagreement, so Roma are forced to wait until that verdict is delivered.

C'è che eravamo grandi insieme
Tu eri l'ape io ero il miele
Ciliegina sulla torta
Il mio vasetto pieno di Nutella
Panna sul budino
Foto sopra il comodino
Fresca brezza del mattino
Il primo squillo sul telefonino
E come in un romanzo io scriverò di te
Di quello che c'è stato che adesso sai non c'è
Mi inventerò due righe come piaceva a te
E con semplici parole dirti che
Era bellissimo
