There could be further changes in the right-back department this summer at AC Milan, with a departure and a renewal planned.
According to Tuttosport (via MilanPress), Milan are thinking about the right side of the defence ahead of 2025-26 and it starts from once certainty: Kyle Walker has convinced everyone and will be signed on a permanent basis from Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Emerson Royal and Alessandro Florenzi face opposing fates. The Brazilian, who arrived last summer from Tottenham, seems destined to leave having failed to convince, which led to the signing of Walker.
Galatasaray were close to landing him in the winter mercato on loan with an option to buy before his injury put a stop to talks. They could come back in for him in the summer, the possibility of a return to LaLiga should not be overlooked either.
The former Roma man meanwhile – whose contract expires next June – wants to stay at the club. He is useful because of his versatility, experience and his homegrown player status, but he has been battling injuries in the past few seasons.
As a result, if he were to extend his deal then salary would have to be significantly lower than the €3m net he earns now, given it is nearly double in gross due to no Growth Decree. A meeting between the club and his agent is scheduled for April to discuss the future.
Walker starter and Jimenez as sub. Sell Emerson for 10M and do not extend Florenzi.
get a young LB that can also play RB and we set.
Jimenez is not a right back, play him upfront.
keep florenzi for 1 mill salary- bringing experience and homegrown quota
Agree to keep Florenzi for 1mil. Also brings fun and motivation to the team, I truly believe he could be important off the pitch.
Time for 3-5-2, then… his role needs to be decided
Theo, Alexis, Jimenez will be RM/LM
Add Coppola and Goglichidze for CB
Add Ricci, Fabbian and Frendrup in midfield
Leao, Pulisic, Gimenez, Camarda and another attacker as striker duo
First of all florenzt should not be extended, we don’t need him,Emerson and Terraciano should be retained as back ups, Jimenez is not defensively capable of been a full back, and he does not have the physical profile for it, we should get a young and powerful right back like Vanderson or Belanova or Jhohan Sebastian Romaña , they are all young and powerful, walker will soon be 35, it’s not a good deal.
You mean we should keep Royal ??? You must be an Inter fan
Jimenez cannot defend though. Like zero defense capability.
If Florenzi agrees to 1 mil a year then having him around will be worth it for the dressingroom. To many underestimate the importance of a good atmosphere in the dressingroom and at Milanello.
As for the right back deputy I rather see Terracciano (and Florenzi) there and use Jimenez as deputy to Pulisic on the right wing since hes so weak defensively, with Sottil as backup for Leao to the left.
Bartesaghi as LB backup to Theo since hes much better defensively then Jimenez.
Who brought Emerson Royal to Tottenham for 30 million? What kind of hypocrite can you be to attack the management of Milan for buying him, and want Paratici as the sporting director?
Funny how we sold our only functional, non elderly RB to a team who is now 5 places above us playing a lot better football than us. Real great plan from the cardinale circus there👍👍👍👍👍
Sign Tiago Santos
Another Fdisaster of a transfer by management.
15M and 4M/year salary for Emerson?? LOL. Trash player and TRASH management team
