Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on his SNS on the 16th (Korea time) that `the negotiations between Tottenham and AC Milan's transfer to Emerson have cooled down.' Tottenham rejected AC Milan's offer twice, and is still asking for more than 20 million euros (about 30 billion won). 'With negotiations suspended, Tottenham and AC Milan are not moving forward at this stage,' it said.
Brazilian Emerson, who is a back-up at Tottenham, is strongly hopeful of a move. He recently told Brazil 'EPTV'I'm very competitive and it's very painful to be left on the bench. So I got angry and told the director"I've always been very professional, and I put the most intensity into training. But this situation is not right for me. I don't know what my future holds, but I'm not a player sitting on the bench.
Emerson moved his nest from Barcelona, Spain, to Tottenham on the last day of the summer transfer market in 2021. The transfer fee was 25.8 million pounds (about 46 billion won). He made 31 appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) in his first season.
However, he lacked 2% in defense as well as offense. Tottenham transfused Pedro prisoner in January last year. Emerson's position has faded.
He played in 22 games in the 2023-2024 season in the EPL, with only 11 starts. I only got a chance when there was a gap in the defense line. But the performance was below average.
Emerson is under contract with Tottenham until June 2026. Italy's Serie A AC Milan are hoping to recruit Emerson. However, he was hamstrung in negotiations over the transfer fee.
Emerson "I want to run. If it's not here, I want to go where I can play. If you want to play for the Brazilian national team, but you can't play at the club level, it's unlikely. That's why we have to find a new place."
He didn't hesitate about AC Milan's interest, saying it's really special to know that a team of this size wants me. I don't know what the future holds. I just hope I can play again and make the national team."
In the meantime, Dortmund in the German Bundesliga is also weighing recruiting Emerson. Tottenham is in a position to sell Emerson unconditionally as long as the transfer fee is met.
Emerson is Tottenham's mood maker. Son Heung-min also follows well. He even said, `Son Heung-min is a Brazilian born in Korea.'
Recently, Son Heung-min, who celebrated his birthday, also left a hot congratulatory message. But Emerson wants a new challenge.
