Milan and Emerson Royal are closer than ever to a deal, with just 1-2 million euros separating the two clubs. The Rossoneri and Tottenham continue to negotiate for the Brazilian full-back, and recent talks suggest that a transfer could be wrapped up for around 14-15 million euros.
While it’s hard to predict exactly when the deal will be finalized, there isn’t an immediate urgency to conclude negotiations. However, all eyes will be on tomorrow’s match between Milan and Real Madrid in the United States, which could provide a pivotal moment in the Emerson situation.
The time difference plays a significant role in this transfer saga. While Milan’s representatives, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada, are in Italy, Tottenham is currently in Asia, with their squad training and playing in places like South Korea and Japan. Emerson Royal continues to train and even started in a recent game against Vissel Kobe, remaining focused on being ready for Milan if the switch happens.
Should the transfer go through, Emerson would likely secure a starting position on the right side of defense, competing with Davide Calabria for the role. Additionally, Emerson aims to reclaim his spot in the Brazilian national team, having last played in November and missing the recent Copa America. A move to Milan could significantly boost his chances of making a return to international duty.
