The former AC Milan right-back Emerson Royal hasn’t had the best of starts to life in Brazil, with Flamengo fans already turning on him. Without a doubt, the Rossoneri dodged a bullet.
After spending €15m to secure his services from Tottenham, Milan were inevitably very disappointed with Emerson Royal’s performances in 2024-25. Aside from a few (and we mean a few) good moments here and there, he never really impressed.

As such, the Rossoneri opted to part ways with him this summer after reaching a €9m agreement with Flamengo (a capital loss on the books). However, they nearly sent him to Besiktas on loan with option to buy, as it was only at the last second that the Brazilian side swooped in.
Flamengo fans furious
With that background in mind, it’s safe to say that Milan dodged a massive bullet as Emerson Royal has had a tough start in Brazil. Just four games into his tenure, the Flamengo fans are already booing him and after the most recent game, he said the following (via MilanNews)…
“It will never hinder me. I’m an experienced player. It’s normal. The fans have the right to boo. If I wasn’t able to play at my level, 100%, they have the right to blame me. I think my initial problem, the sprain, ended up affecting my game. I couldn’t jump or change direction,” he stated.
In short, Milan can consider themselves pleased with the deal despite the capital loss. Just getting his wages of the books was a big win…
After wages, our loss was likely less than imagined. Feel bad for the Flamengo fans. But their management jumped in and bought him outright.
I still wish him the best and hope he recovers his form. There are no hard feelings.
^well said
There are definitely hard feelings about our main scout and the people that said yes to this transfer. They need to get out of the club.
I was talking about the player himself, Mr ChapGPTer.
No sh*t Sherlock, why do you always write cpt. Obvious replies? 🤣
Maybe one day you will go away. You’re such a worthless troll. I was talking about the player. Not the person who signed him.
Everyone got that from the first message. You don’t get anything, I have to explain 7 times.
You weren’t responding to anyone then, because you made a reply to me on something I didn’t write. Learn how this website works. Post your own reply for no one to read because nobody likes you or your useless ChatGPT responses.
You guys are like an old married couple. 😂😂😂
The muppet is amusing and keeps trying to get the better of me. And I’m having fun with how stupid he is.
Kinda off topic.. We might dodge a bullet in Emerson Royal, but god damn we should regret selling Reijnders. Having such a great PL-debut match tofay
Yes, best City player in first half. City would have paid 15M more outright but Furlani hurried so he can show Gerry the positive financial situation before someone explained to him we are out of CL and 8th. 🤣🤣🤣
And of course Guardiola is playing him almost as a 2nd striker when they are going forward. You put Reijnders as close to the goal as possible. 3 Milan managers couldn’t figure this out and play him at least as AMC with 2 a bit defensive players behind.
You’re so lazy even ChatGPT writes all your responses.
Ok. 🤣🤣 It isn’t even fun to ridicule you anymore. It is like laughing at special needs person. Apologies.
Fck off you little sh!t
🤣🤣🤣 drink your meds.
Are you mad because I sad bad things about Furlani? 🤣
Agreed. We UNDERsold Reindjers at 55M. Steal for City and he will only get better and better under Pepe. Declan Rice went for 110M???? Another poor deal by Georgio.
100% Should have held out for more money. Reijnders is class.
Yes, but he said he wanted to go to the EPL. He said many times that Milan was a stop gap to get to where he really wantes to go.
So did many players, doesn’t mean you can’t hold out for more money.
You’re such a genius. Maybe you should apply for the job… Besides from working at 7/11. Loll
Ok. 🤣🤣🤣
Sure, and Milan has zero motives to sell him, specially after renewing him just months before. Furlani is an 1d10t but these are hardly news
But we have our own reinforcements. Let’s wait and see how Jashari and Ricci both do first.
Honestly, watching him this evening I think we should have sold him for 85M euros at least
Exactly the amount I commented on their post yesterday I said exact thing u just said Milan rushed and sold him so cheap and he was our best player in the team
I’m still trying to process Reijnders sale. What a gem of a player we’ve lost. He looks VG for City so far.
I won’t be tuning into City at all this season. Sucks to see another great player with a fresh renewal be sold. Tiji was pushing for it too so screw him. I hope he gets 0 trophies there.
You sir, sound sore and miserable. Does Milan look like they are headed towards any real trophies? Do they look ambitious at all?
Reijnders father was an absolute genius to orchestrate his move to Milan first instead of Barca then to ManCity. Came in, showcased his skillset, clearly one of the best players here, balled out against Madrid, Pep noticed.
BOOM! Now he’s playing with world class talent and competing for serious silverware. I wish him every bit of luck and fortune and hope he wins it all! And I’ll be watching ManCity highlights just to see him play.
He was a monster against the Wolves today.
Don’t get used to any good players. That’s our motto – buy cheap and flip. Why do you think they spent 40mil on Jashari? Because they will sell him at 80mil+
Sadly with the state of Serie A TV rights money for the clubs. It likely has to be this way. EPL is pulling so far ahead in value that we now get out bid by their lower mid table teams.
You can sell high only if EPL club interesting to buy your player or super rich club like Real Madrid & PSG want to buy. They can sell him 80m euro.only if he is in top perform and not injury prone. Many of the signing elliot & RB big money also failure too like caldara, paqueta, piatek, CDK. More worst from yong hong li signing . Most of them out free transfer ( yong hong li signing) , while caldara are the worst signing 40m euro and free transfer after 6 season contribute nothing. Conclusion : only few of that signing are worth to sell , the chance are too low maybe 1 from 10 new signing. Tiji & thiaw pushing for move, if you contain them for more money that will be causing drama like gyokeres, jashari, lookman, isak. Do you want player stated in media : i dont want to play for your club anymore? That will hurt ACM brand and causing young player hesitated to join this club anymore. Tiji are weak on defense, play him with modric & jashari ( or ricci ) in 433 will weaken ACM midfield , selling him 55 + 15m euro add on not bad deal ,just few season anymore and he is 30 years ( his resale value will reduced) , thiaw was never key player, he is just rotation player, 35 + 5m euro add on are already good for rotation player, only selling tonali still make ACM regret. More loss in account are coming , bennacer, origi, adili look like go free transfer too due to no buyer
Agree with all of you guys. Tiji is having a fantastic game. No surprise there, he was a great, professional player for us. He wanted to go to England and let’s be honest, Financially, we arent at the level of top EPL clubs. No shame there, most clubs are unless you are a PSG, Madrid type of thing. I wish him the best, he was very likeable. At the same time, we got Ricci, Modric and other guys and a solid coach.
One of the dumbest signings in our history. Literally everyone in the fanbase (except that clown K) knew he was awful and wouldn’t do well. Surprise surprise, he was useless and now cant even cut it in Brazil. We sacrificed Kalulu and Calabria for royal and walker… that right there should’ve gotten the whole clown 4 fired…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We actually dodged a bomb
“We sacrificed Kalulu and Calabria for royal and walker… that right there should’ve gotten the whole clown 4 fired…”
This.
Calabria was utterly finished as a player. In fact he has been terrible for three years running. Now he’s running off to Greece. I’m surprised. I thought he was going to retire.
Agreed. At least they didn’t sign Walker. 🤣 where did he end up?
Calabria was one of my biggest disappointments. I thought he and Romagnoli we’re going to be the next generation of great Italian defenders. Both ended in disappointment. When Calabria came on in the CL match against Madrid, I knew his time at Milan was over. Too bad!
Real sad we did that
Happy and sad to see Tijji in his first game for Man C. We will miss his goals and contributions. Wishing him the best
Milan dodge the second bullet after shooting themselves in the foot with the first bullet.
Failed player
But not his fault, our society that they fucking sign him , Kalulu is 10000 better than him
” We sacrificed Kalulu and Calabria for royal and walker…”
LMAO Calabria has been absolutely finished as a player. He couldn’t even start at lower ranked teams where he was loaned.
Kalulu was always injured.
With that said, they should have upgraded. Not downgraded. I expected more from Walker and his experience, but he wasn’t a Beckham or Van Bommel like figure we needed.
And where is Calabria now? Running off to Greece after spending months without finding a team?
He couldn’t even start at Bologna. He was awful when he played. Slower than a steam engine. Bologna benched him because of that.
What is ur issue with Calabria Goku? Seems like he stabbed you at the back with d**k!!
He atleast played for Milan, what did you do? Trying to find free channels to watch milan’s game.
I’m stating fact. Dude was without a team for months and failed early as a player.
And what did you do? Free channels? LOL That sounds more like you. You know it’s called FuboTV. Oh wait that’s way too expensive for you.
He is mentally impaired to be nice, so keep that in mind when replying to Goku.
watched him for 20m vs internacional a couple of days ago. he seemed out of shape, and mistake prone. spent a lot of time on the ground. Flamingo looked a lot better in the club world cup before ER joined them.
We didnt dodge a bullet, we are recovering from the last set of bullets we were riddled with! and those who facilitated it are still around!! No consequences whatsoever!!.
Dodged a bullet? We got hit with that bullet last season we didn’t dodge anything just glad we could pass him along
What about Origi and CdK signings, we can’t just forget that!
I couldn’t be happier with that piece of news, cause I simply HATE Flamengo 😂🙏🏻😂
Just a trash player a trash signing, never know why our management signed him
Surely those secret societies know better, Gerry Cardinale should have been introduced to Berlusconi long ago. Milan is their institution but right now a commoners football club.
