AC Milan have gone cold on the idea of signing Emerson Royal from Spurs and there are two reasons behind this, according to a report.
Recently it was reported that Milan’s offer of €14m for the Brazilian full-back was rejected, with Tottenham asking for quite a bit more. Since then, the Rossoneri have been evaluating their options and weighing up what to do next.
According to what is being reported by Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Milan were in talks over the signing of Emerson Royal from Spurs for the right-back role but now if seems that they have frozen their pursuit.
There are two major reasons why the management have gone cold. The first is that Tottenham’s asking price is considered too high by Geoffrey Moncada and co. because they are demanding €20m.
The other factor is that Pierre Kalulu is giving positive signs at Milanello in the right-back role, where the new head coach Paulo Fonseca is alternating him with the captain Davide Calabria and likes what he has seen.
It has been reported by several sources that Royal wants the move to Milan and has already agreed personal terms, but it might be that his wishes do not become reality.
Had to step down from the heated bidding war that is going on for this player. We just aren’t in a place where we could afford such a magnificent player. Yes
The fact that Fonseca veto’d this move is already a reason to like him.
Fons is giving a good vibe, not gonna lie. Players are reacting well and he has clear ideas so far.
Curious and genuine question, why do you say this ? Was it because of the article published today about it or that you have read about /seen players’ reactions?
I might have peaked at some training footage 👀
I too am very curious.
Until the games begin, there is now ay to judge whether fonsi has gotten the players trust or fixed the glaring issues with the squad.
All these articles and blows about how he has opened up the tacticonomicon is just here say. And I see some fans are already buying into it as well.
Media throughly is a powerful tool.
tacticonomicon, I like that. Very good, 10/10.
Best sentence I’ve ever read on here and I’m not being sarcastic
@turtle Training videos ?? The 20 second clips? Or the whole training? ….and is Zlatan’s wall not doing what it’s supposed to 😂
@Briareos yes media is a powerful tool indeed..and like you, only until I see them play a proper game I can make a proper judgment call.
Nah, proper videos not clips.
“tactinomocon” wins the internet.
I’m desperately searching for any other Meal Stephenson reference I could offer for fun rejoinder and and coming up short!
Brilliant @Briareos!
This!!! 🙂
I believe Pierre is better
2 reasons? You forgot reason no.3: he’s absolute garbage.
