Tottenham full-back Emerson Royal remains keen on joining AC Milan this summer.
Emerson Royal’s future has been the talk of the town for some time now. The Brazilian full-back has fallen down the pecking order under Ange Postecoglou and is looking to part ways with Tottenham this summer in search of regular first-team action.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness, the former Barcelona defender has his heart set on a move to AC Milan having already agreed personal terms with them.
Emerson was an important part of Spurs’ first team since joining the North London club back in the summer of 2021 but the Australian manager’s arrival has hugely impacted his game time.
While he was involved in 24 matches last term, the majority of those appearances came because of an injury crisis. With him not a part of Postecoglou’s plans moving ahead, Tottenham are ready to sanction his departure and AC Milan have been working on a potential deal for some time now.
The Italian giants have already agreed on personal terms with the player who will be earning €2.5m a year after tax. With the player keen on making the move, Milan were hoping that they could put pressure on Spurs and strike a deal for a bargain fee of just €15 million.
But, the North London club have no intention of accepting such a low fee for the Brazilian full-back. While negotiations haven’t been going according to plan, Emerson remains interested in a move to Milan as he feels it can help him regain his place in the Brazil national team.
