MN: ‘Opened the door’ – Milan could part with Emerson on loan with Galatasaray interested

AC Milan have today ‘opened the door’ to Emerson Royal’s exit after just six months at the club, interest from Turkey is already prominent. 

The right-back situation is confusing and for many, frustrating. Last season, Milan were evidently short in the position, and this meant that summer recruitment was a necessity. Originally, it seemed that Tiago Santos was the preferred option, but this was not how it ended.

Instead, the Rossoneri went for Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur, which was heavily criticised, given Santos is a full-back with potential, whereas Emerson is one who has struggled to live up to his potential.

Nevertheless, here the Diavolo are with Emerson. The Brazilian, in his first six months, has struggled to establish himself with little-to-no competition due to Davide Calabria’s injuries, and so an exit is looking possible.

Kyle Walker is set to arrive and Milan are preparing an official bid to be sent this evening, so this could mean that Emerson leaves to ‘make way’. Initial reports suggested that a sale would be the case, but Milan News now report that the Rossoneri have ‘opened the door’ to a loan deal.

Galatasaray are the most interested party, and a six-month loan could be perfect to allow all parties to reassess in the summer, especially considering Walker is likely to arrive on loan.

    1. Ah yes, nothing like selling someone at an all time low… the goal should be to hope he shows well there and sell in Summer.

  1. Walker and Kayode in -> Emerson and Calabria out
    GK, CB and LB are fine for now…

    RLC upgrade is needed… (most nontechnical midfielder I have ever seen)
    striker(s) are needed… (Tammy, Morata are fine as depth but that’s all their good for. Berardi and 1 more striker would be a quick fix)
    covers for Puli and Leao… (Chukwueze most likely will stay)

    If we wanna get top4, dead-weights must leave!

    IN: Casadei, Berardi, Joao Felix, Kayode, Walker
    OUT: RLC, Okafor, Jovic, Calabria, Emerson

        1. Anyone is better than the disabled RLC. He is 191 and can’t jump or hit the ball with his head, like special needs kid. I actually think Pogba would be better than him, even with his issues and even if we cut of his stronger leg. Still better. But they should get a DM.

      1. I seriously hope this is what you think the management will do and not what you are asking for 😀
        As much as I was perplexed that we signed the Brazilian then I can hardly blame Royal for accepting a good offer from us and if he is reluctant to accept a loan or sale already at this point of time.

    1. You can forget about Kayode, seems like Brentford is about to get him. Casadei, what has he shown? Better suited for the lower end teams in Serie A

  2. Since Walker can’t be registered until after the UCL league stage, either Useless David gets to play in the UCL matches, or they give the RB spot to Jimenez.
    At this point, I’d rather use Jimenez over Calabria.
