Serie A giants AC Milan are reportedly set to offer more than €15 million to sign 25-year-old Tottenham utility man Emerson Royal in the summer transfer window.
According to reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Emerson Royal is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants have already failed with a bid worth €15 million to sign the 25-year-old utility man. However, the Rossoneri will soon submit a bid to Tottenham Hotspur, with personal terms not an issue for either party.
The Emerson Royal story at Tottenham
Emerson Royal has been an underwhelming signing for Tottenham Hotspur since arriving from Barcelona in August 2021. A poor debut season compelled the North London club to invest in another right-back, with Pedro Porro taking no time to usurp him as the first-choice right-back.
The 25-year-old, who has been a utility man for Tottenham in the last three years due to his ability to play as a centre-back and a left-back, featured in his secondary positions more than his primary spot of right-back. Emerson managed less than 1,500 minutes of game time across 24 appearances in all competitions.
The Brazilian international has thus faced an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium heading into the summer transfer window. Emerson does not have a shortage of clubs pursuing his signature, with AC Milan among his prospective suitors.
Serie A adventure beckons?
AC Milan’s interest in Emerson Royal is understandable. The Serie A giants have been scouring the market for a right-back heading into the summer transfer window, with Davide Calabria not being at his best in the last couple of seasons. The Tottenham utility man has thus emerged as a viable target for the Rossoneri.
However, the transfer fee is an issue, with Tottenham rejecting an offer from AC Milan. The latest update has revealed that the Serie A giants are ready to submit a bid worth over €15 million to secure Emerson Royal’s services in the summer transfer window.
Personal terms will not be an issue, with the 25-year-old Brazilian international keen on moving to San Siro. So, it will be interesting to see if the latest proposal by AC Milan does the trick and convinces Tottenham to sell Emerson.
