MN: Emerson Royal done, now the midfielder – Milan want to accelerate for Fofana

AC Milan have closed negotiations with Tottenham for full-back Emerson Royal and he will be the third signing of the summer, but it is unlikely that he will be the last.

According to MilanNews, contact between the clubs have effectively sealed the definitive agreement between Milan and Tottenham over Emerson Royal, who will arrive for €15m plus bonuses and will sign a five-year contract.

One of the things that played in the Rossoneri’s favour was how much the Brazilian wanted the move, so much so that terms were agreed many weeks ago. After Alvaro Morata and Strahinja Pavlovic, therefore, the former Betis and Barcelona player will be Milan’s third signing of the mercato.

After having sorted out the attack and defense, Milan now want to accelerate for a central midfielder. In this sense, there is still hope of getting Youssouf Fofana, a 25-year-old midfielder at Monaco who the management have been pursuing for a while now.

Despite the high demands of the Monegasque club, Geoffrey Moncada and co. are banking a lot on the player’s desire to move to the Rossoneri and next week could be decisive, because positive signs must come otherwise alternatives may be pursued.
