'9 billion more. Or I'm going to turn the tables's greed of Chairman Levy, why Emerson Royal's transfer is delayed

'5 million pounds (about 9 billion won) more or I can't give it to you'

I'm all ready to leave, but the last OK sign isn't coming out. This is because Tottenham Hotspur Chairman Daniel Levy's 's 'Chewdori Temperament' to earn even a penny more in transfer fees was triggered. This is why defender Emerson Royal's trip to AC Milan is delayed.

Defender Emerson Royal, who Tottenham decided to sell in the transfer market this summer, is waiting for AC Milan's final contact with only his phone attached. This is because Tottenham, the current team, has not made a final signing due to the transfer fee, although it has completed a personal agreement on the transfer and even confirmed the contract period and salary. From Royal's point of view, it's crazy and jumpy. If AC Milan do not accept Tottenham's final offer, they will have to hold new transfer negotiations with other teams. Royal is only waiting for AC Milan's acceptance call.

British media TBR Football reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'A defender who played in 101 games for Tottenham is waiting for a phone call saying he can transfer' It is about the current situation surrounding Royal's transfer.

Tottenham are pushing for a major team squad overhaul in the transfer window this summer. Coach Enze Postecoglou tries to send out many players and recruit outstanding strikers and midfielders in order to shake off the regret of being pushed to fifth place in the last-minute ranking competition due to a lack of hindsight in the 2023-2024 season. Royal has also been listed for sale, along with Rodrigo Bentancourt, Giovanni Lo Celso, Hishalisson and Oliver Skipp.

Royal, who was like the team's Gye-reuk, entered the market, and competition for recruitment was raised. His former team Barcelona also joined the team. However, AC Milan was the most active. AC Milan parted ways with Stefano Pioli and appointed Paulo Fonseca. Fonseca actively wanted Royal.

The transfer work seemed to be done quickly. Royal and AC Milan reached a personal agreement on unconventional terms. The contract period is four years until 2029. The club has a one-year extension option, and the annual salary is about £2.5 million (about W4.43 billion).'

But there was a problem at the last minute. Chairman Levy flatly rejected Milan's £11.8 million transfer deal. Tottenham don't want to give up £16.9m. This is why the transfer is rarely going well. In terms of figures, there is a difference of 5.1 million pounds (about 9.4 billion won) from AC Milan's offer.

The media quoted reports from Italy's Calcio Mercato saying the Royal is awaiting AC Milan's acceptance call to leave Tottenham. If Tottenham maintains its refusal to the end, the transfer negotiations go back to square one.

Tottenham are trying to sell at a fair price. Based on this fund, the strategy is to recruit a new alternative, Manchester City's Jan Cuoto, and further recruit a striker. In the end, AC Milan should accept this. If chairman Levi gives up his greed, he can recruit him right away.

In the meantime, there was also a variable. Spain's Primera Liga giants Barcelona are also looking to recruit Royal. Between AC Milan and Barcelona, Tottenham can send Royal to a team that is satisfactory. There are not many options for Royal in this process. You have to go when there is a place to come. That's why I only look at the phone.
