CM: Moncada still strongly pursuing Spurs defender – demands could be lowered

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan remain in talks with Spurs over the potential signing of Emerson Royal and hope to find a meeting point soon, according to a report.

According to Calciomercato.com, contacts between Milan and Tottenham for Emerson Royal have not stopped and now the London club are internally evaluating the possibility of lowering their €20m demands.

It is not yet a clear opening but there is more optimism, and the will of the right-back is clear: he wants to move to Milan, with whom he has a verbal agreement over personal terms. At the beginning of next week Geoffrey Moncada will try to seal the arrival of ‘one of his real obsessions’.

However, if he were to join then it would raise questions about the number of right-backs in the squad, given Davide Calabria, Alessandro Florenzi, Pierre Kalulu and Filippo Terracciano can all play there.

Enquiries about Terracciano have arrived in the last month and Florenzi suffered a knee injury last night that is being assessed, but it seems as though Moncada and Fonseca have decided that the right defensive lane needed to be improved.

In the meantime, talks are continuing over Youssouf Fofana, Strahinja Pavlovic, Lazar Samardzic and Niclas Fullkrug.

  1. Kayode man, stop with this Emerson BS… Or even better keep Kalulu, who is more RB than CB, is faster than Emerson… Get Kiwior and we get another cover for LB as well

    Ricci is also doable, why are we wasting time on Emerson and Samardzic?

    1. Samardzic can be a backup to RLC. We shouldn’t waste time on another RB who is not an upgrade to Calabria. Like you said we have Kalulu, Florenzi there, even that guy we bought from hellas verona play RB. Forget the name was it Teracchiano or something?

  2. I can’t understand, why Milan is so in love with this guy. Having him, basically will not upgrade our RB, who is filled with our current captain and our only homegrown player in starting 11. Unless it is a big upgrade from Calabria, okay, I can understand. But this guy? *palm face*

    1. You don’t know better than Moncada who is very good at his job and he knows a hell of a lot more about players than you fans do. So get over it man. Emerson will be a Milan player soon whether you like it or not. Smh

        1. No ,moncada want kolo muani ( at the same time free transfer) instead origi . But he also make mistake scouting ballo toure and also CDK ( coach asking for AMF and he get CDK name on the list AMF )

      1. If he is so good at his job why don’t we have wc defenders, wc midfielders, and 2 wc strikers? He has been in this club for 5 years and the amount of real quality players we found is pretty low imao. The players that developed into good assets were already established players in eu, more or less.

        All he does is beat around the bush in France. Meanwhile clubs like atalanta or bologna now seemed pretty effective in finding players to polish into gems for cheap

        1. Because we need a good sporting director. Moncada isn’t a negotiator nor should he ever be one. We need a Marotta, or a Sartori or the like to spearhead this thing to be really effective.

          1. I know that, most fans know that, I recon half the employees at Milan know that. He’s still an average scout tho.

            Tare is still available 👀

  3. Why don’t they just go get Kayode. The dude is Italian with Serie A Experience and have much more potential than this flop and is younger AND is cheaper than this clown. Why does this management hate Italians that always been the soul of this club. We wanted to pay 40 million for Zirkze so why didn’t they just put those 40 million on Calafiori instead. A player that we need even more than Zirkze I would say and would be perfect for Fonseca tactics.
    This Management is a embarrassment.
    Every owner that have bought a big club have bought players to make a statement and show the fans they mean business but not this clown Cardinale and he is so cheap that that he even make statement signing’s even when the book’s are great.
    Cardinale don’t love Milan and don’t care about Milan and he wants the fans to buy tickets and merchandise so we can enjoy Emerson Flop. Jovic Saelmakers Calabria Pobega etc

    R.I.P Berlusconi we never gonna get a owner that love Milan like you.
    You would fire Pioli when we lost in CL Semifinal against inter and you would buy players just make sure that Inter don’t win 6 straight times against us again.
    Now we have this clown Cardinale and he gonna suck out every penny he can from this club of our then sell it to a another clown like him instead of someone Italian or Middle East that would actually spend on the squad and try to become the best team in the world.
