Emerson Royal will be AC Milan’s third signing of the summer, scheduled to arrive in Milano with his agent tomorrow. According to a report, the Brazilian international will sign a contract which includes a clause that the Rossoneri seem to like.
Following quite long negotiations, with Spurs initially asking for €25m, Milan managed to reach an agreement at €15m plus bonuses. It’s a signing that doesn’t excite most of the fanbase but the full-back will be looking to prove them wrong.
As reported by Matteo Moretto this afternoon, Emerson Royal will sign a four-year contract with a club and there will also be an option for an additional year (4+1). This is a formula that Milan used for both Alvaro Morata and Strahinja Pavlovic, it should be noted.
The medical tests and the contract signing are scheduled for Monday, as the journalist concludes, and Emerson should thus be on the bench against Torino. It remains to be seen how he will do in the competition with Davide Calabria, but the feeling is that he’s been signed as a starter.
In the meantime, Paulo Fonseca and his men are preparing for the season opener and the final friendly, scheduled for Tuesday evening.
