AC Milan have scheduled talks with Tottenham today to complete the signing of Emerson Royal.
Emerson Royal’s future has been the talk of the town for weeks as AC Milan have been in negotiations with Tottenham but they haven’t been able to get the deal over the line yet.
According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants have scheduled talks with Spurs today to complete the signing of the Brazilian full-back.
Milan are desperate to have an upgrade at right-back before the start of the next season. They identified the former Real Betis full-back as a perfect fit for their system and have been working on a potential deal since the start of the transfer window. While the talks did stall at one point as Milan were not ready to meet Tottenham’s demands, they did decide to reignite their interest after having a look elsewhere.
Emerson hasn’t done much wrong since joining the North London club back in 2021 from Barcelona. While he has been a key part of their first team for years, the 25-year-old went down the pecking order post the arrival of Ange Postecoglou. Since he is not a part of their plans moving ahead, they are ready to cash in on him.
While negotiations haven’t been easy, Milan are finally closing in on his signature as per the report. Things are getting easier for them with each passing day and the two parties are separated by just €1-€2 million. The deal is practically just a step away as both teams continue to negotiate.
The report suggests that eventually there will be a green light for the transfer to be completed and the final fee will be around €14-€15 million. Milan have scheduled a meeting with Tottenham today for Emerson as they plan to bring the transfer saga to an end.
