Besiktas have come forward and expressed an interest in signing Emerson Royal from AC Milan, according to reports.
Milan left for their preseason tour of the Asia-Pacific region over the weekend, where they will play Arsenal, Liverpool and Perth Glory in friendly matches. A 26-man squad for the games was named, and the likes of Emerson Royal and Tommaso Pobega among those missing.

Pobega is expected to complete a transfer to Bologna soon, while the exclusion of the Brazilian full-back makes it very clear that he is not a part of the plans. He hasn’t been since the winter window in truth, when it is believed he was on the verge of joining Galatasaray before getting injured.
Offer expected from Besiktas
However, Emerson might just get a second opportunity to move to Turkey, if the latest rumours are to be believed.
Fabrizio Romano‘s latest update reads as follows: “Understand Besiktas are set to offer loan deal with buy option clause for Emerson Royal. Talks to follow with AC Milan after player gave initial green light to the move.”
Meanwhile, his colleague Matteo Moretto writes: “Initial contacts for Emerson Royal with Beşiktaş. Possible formula: loan with option to buy. No negotiations between clubs yet, but initial request for information.”
Take it, whatever it is.
Let’s not pretend that we somehow have a gem and that we can somehow drive a hard bargain for him.
The sooner Emerson is gone, the better.
He should have never been purchased in the first place, but here we are.
Option to buy? He is coming back to Milan next season. Transfer or loan with obligation…
It’s hard to offload a hot potato no one wants.
And to think that Spurs even played hardball with us on him. Lmao, legendary.
At 15m, it seems we overpaided by 25m 😂😂😂
It is probably so that spurs do not have a loss in the books. That is why I imagine the price was set at 15M.
In case for to Milan, they probably need way less than 15M to not have a capital loss on the books.
12M. Next year 9M.
Sorry, I’m wrong because I think it was 4+1 contract, so 11.25M now or 7.5M in a year.
Because they knew that Furlani, Moncada and Ibrahimović were incompetents so might as well make the most of it.
I think they’re still laughing about how we fell for Royal.
Why isn’t the person who made this deal still working at the club? And ppl still have the nerve to talk about the CDK deal as if it was that bad. Lemme see….hmmm his “bad” season last year he had 25 goal contributions, one less than Lookman who had a good season and better than everyone in our team bar Pulisic.
What’s good for the goose….
If that is considered bad, I fear to see CDK in a good season.
He would monster it up to a ridiculous degree, he ends up on balon d’or nominations 😏
The most poinless transfer we made to recruit someone.
Not Origi?
Origi at the time was Liverpool off-the-bench hero on many occasions, quite a few of them critical goals. It actually made a bit of sense (not the wages offered though but the transfer itself) – experienced player who can come off the bench and score important goals. Emerson on the other hand was known to be trash and we still got him …..for way more than he’s worth and more expensive than Origi when you total everything up
Why would they agree to loan with option… they will not buy out him, and they will just use him as free rotation player. He will not play there, lose his value (if now he has any), and it will be even harder to sell him after he comes back.
Either sell him permanently or just keep him.
Because there is never a real buyer for King Emerson, ever. There’s only clubs loan him..
Ask your club Milan, why they’re interested to buy him
Who said Emerson is better than Calabria? Don’t be shy 😀
