Speculation persists that Kerr, who is contracted to the Eagles until the end of next season, will leave West Coast if he is not offered a four or five-year deal, but Embley remains sure that the 25-year-old will stay in his home state of WA next season.
"I've spoken to Kerry about his situation and he's publicly stated he wants to stay at the West Coast Eagles," Embley said.
"Kerry's a West Australian bloke and he loves this football club so I'm confident he'll be here next year."
West Coast coach John Worsfold has also said it would take something drastic for the star on-baller to leave.
A Perth radio station reported that Kerr's manager Colin Young had requested a trade ahead of Sunday's clash with Hawthorn, but Young later discredited the claim.
Asked after the 71-point loss if there was any truth to the rumour, Worsfold said: "Not that I know of, no.
"He's contracted to our footy club, so something drastic has to happen for him not to be playing with us next year."
Despite losing celebrated teammate Chris Judd in dramatic circumstances last year, Embley agreed it was unlikely Kerr would follow the same path.
"The Judd situation was very different. He's a Victorian guy and he went home for family reasons," the Norm Smith medalist said.
"He's contracted to the football club for another year so I'm not really sure what all the fuss is about, I'm confident that he'll be at West Coast next year."
Michael Braun's last game on Sunday made him the fourth West Coast premiership player, including the de-listed Daniel Chick, to retire since the 2006 Grand Final.
And after Judd was traded to Carlton and Ben Cousins was sacked, Kerr would be the seventh player from that side to leave in two years.
Embley conceded there was a changing of the guard taking place at West Coast, but was excited by the prospect.
"We've probably moved on from that era, now it's about working hard and making a statement," he said.
"That's reality, players move on. We've got some good kids coming through and that's what excites me at the moment.
"It only feels like yesterday that I walked into the football club but that was 10 years ago. Now you look around and there are so many young, fresh faces, but that's a good thing."
