This morning, a video emerged of Emerson’s entourage heading into a meeting with representatives of Real Betis on the subject of him returning to the club, and it seems these talks have gone successfully.
As Gianluca Di Marzio reports this afternoon, the Brazilian has reached a ‘verbal agreement’ to return to Spain, where he left on good terms. However, the actual structure of the deal still needs to be worked out, as MilanNews relays.
Back to Spain
It is difficult to predict which route Milan will take, really. In January, a permanent exit, as well as loans, were discussed rather heavily. As we know, a permanent transfer was agreed but later cancelled due to his injury against Girona.
So, it cannot be ruled out that the Rossoneri seek a similar solution here. However, the report states that a loan deal is the ‘most likely hypothesis’. Though again, it is unknown whether it will be a dry loan or one with an option to buy.
With personal terms already agreed, it should not be too long before the two clubs work out the structure of a move.
