AC Milan and Spurs continue to get closer to finding a meeting point regarding Emerson Royal with the gap now very small, according to a report.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there is now just €1-2m standing between Emerson Royal and a move to Milan that he really wants. The Rossoneri and Tottenham continue to negotiate for the Brazilian full-back but the road has been downhill for some time.
Logic says that it will close at €14-15m. When? It is difficult to be certain, but tomorrow could be a key day. Milan and Real Madrid are playing in the United States, but seven hours away in Europe (in time zones) there is a meeting scheduled to try close the Emerson deal.
Time zones could play a part in things because while the Milan squad are in the USA, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada – the men involved in the negotiations – are in Italy. Spurs, on the other hand, are on the other side of the world in South Korea.
Emerson Royal is training regularly with the team and he is playing too, given that in the friendly between Vissel Kobe and Tottenham he was a starter, and he has one goal in mind: to be ready to join Milan in the best shape.
The 25-year-old would be the potential starter on the right side and would relish a battle with Davide Calabria to earn Paulo Fonseca’s trust. Among his objectives is to reconquer a spot in the Brazilian national team too after missing the Copa America.
I’d like someone else, but maybe he can get back on the right track here. And with Florenzi’s potential career ending injury, we need someone. I just hope he does have the quality.
I’m skeptical. I will back him if he comes.
Same here. He will be one of us.
I’d opt for Hummels and shift Kalulu to the right. I’d sign him as a last resort, if Hummels wasn’t possible to acquire. Doesn’t seem they pursued that avenue.
Should I get an Emerson jersey? I’d go for it if it will be a good number. The only odd number I’d get is a 3 (never gonna happen at Milan) or a good 9. Or 11 but I ain’t interested in a pulisic jersey. I like even numbers
If only we took Wilfried Singo for 12M a year ago..
Nooooooo. Close the DM and Samardzic first. Then close Emerson.
Would be disappointing if we don’t have the funds late in the window for someone of quality when we splurged €15mn on the 28th best RB in north london
So Calabria leaves then..??
But I still don’t get this RB pursuit…. Can someone explain how and why Milan needs a RB
Calabria is not good enough anymore to be our starting RB. He offers little going forward offensively and his defense has dropped off. Last season he was poor defensively and he struggles to defend anyone with any pace. Kalulu could be a solution but he is too often injured.
Calabria is often injured too.
Well Royal is not.
Pls someone explain to me why Milan don’t go for Kayode instead of this clown Royal Flop. He is 19 years old. Serie A Experience. Had a better season than Royal Flop. He cost in the same region as the flop. Pls someone explain why this management are blind to Italian talents. We buy Chelsea players that don’t get lot of playing time but we don’t go for Casadei.
The dumbest signing since origi…
