Tottenham Hotspur defender Emerson Royal has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
The 25-year-old Brazilian fullback has fallen down the pecking order at the North London club and he needs to leave in order to play regularly. Italian outfit AC Milan prepared to provide him with an exit route but they have had two offers rejected for the player.
It seems that Borussia Dortmund have now entered the race to sign the Brazilian defender, and they have submitted an offer close to the asking price as per Premier League Brasil. It will be interesting to see if the defender is willing to join the German club this summer.
Dortmund made it to the final of the UEFA Champions League last season and they have a talented squad at their disposal. They are expected to compete for major trophies in the upcoming season and Emerson Royal could prove to be a quality acquisition. The Brazilian is versatile enough to operate as the right back as well as the left back. He could be an asset for the Bundesliga outfit.
Signing a player of his quality and experience for €20 million could prove to be a bargain in the long term. The Brazilian will be hoping to play more often at this stage of his career, and the Bundesliga outfit might be able to provide him with that opportunity. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Tottenham will be hoping to sell the player to the highest bidder so that they can recoup a significant amount of money for him. Both AC Milan and Dortmund will be exciting destinations for the defender this summer.
