Tottenham defender Emerson Royal has already made up his mind to leave Tottenham. He wants a new challenge in AC Milan.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 3rd (Korea time), `AC Milan wants a new right fullback. Emerson remains a major option along with Thiago Santos. Emerson wants a move and is keen to join AC Milan," he reported.
Italy's Calcio Mercato has revealed more details about Emerson's transfer to AC Milan. The media reported 'AC Milan's contact with Emerson intensified for several days. Emersong prefers AC Milan transfer, so the transfer can be made easier. Recently, he received an offer from Villarreal, but so far, Villarreal's project has not satisfied Emerson. Now Emerson has delegated negotiations to agents for AC Milan transfer, it said.
AC Milan has already agreed to grant Emmerson's desired conditions. Calcio Mercato said 'Contact with the player has already begun. The negotiations were positive. 'Both salaries and the contract period have already reached a consensus in principle and with an agreement between clubs, all bonuses and details must be defined.' He explained to what extent negotiations are now in place.
The remaining task is to agree on a transfer fee between Tottenham and AC Milan. The media was negotiated between AC Milan's transfer market managers and Tottenham's leadership to find a way to reach an agreement on evaluating the player's transfer fee. Tottenham wants more than 25 million euros (about 37.4 billion won), but AC Milan has no intention of spending more than 17 million euros (about 25.4 billion won) on Emerson's transfer fee, even if the bonus is included.
With Tottenham's recruitment of Archie Gray, the reason for leaving Emerson has completely disappeared, so the transfer fee negotiations are expected to be completed between 20 million euros (about 29.8 billion won). If the agreement between the clubs is finalized, Emerson can finish his affectionate Tottenham life.
Emerson also recently gave an interview in which he was very grateful for the attention AC Milan had given him. He said "I heard AC Milan asked Tottenham about me. AC Milan are a great club. I'm proud of that interest." He said he is open to new challenges.
Emerson was born in 1999 and is still a young defender, but his life at Tottenham has not been successful. Emerson was highly anticipated when he joined Barcelona as a child. Barcelona sent Emerson on loan to Real Betis because there was no room for promising Emerson.
Emerson returned to Barcelona after two seasons of experience as a mainstay at Betis. He wanted to take the lead, but the club had a different idea. At the time, Barcelona was on the verge of having to sell players in a financial crisis. The transfer was made as Tottenham saw through Barcelona's financial situation and put in an offer to recruit Emerson.
Emmer Song, who joined Tottenham from the 2021-2022 season, did not perform as well as expected. Antonio Conte picked Emerson as the main right wingback and continued to give him the opportunity to play, but Emerson's attacking ability was not at the level Tottenham fans and Conte wanted.
He played in 31 league games and scored one goal and one assist, giving Conte a lot of trouble. Eventually, with Pedro Porro's recruitment, Emerson slowly began to lose ground. Even after Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou came, it did not change. Emerson, who was completely behind the captives, was reduced to a backup defender going between left and right.
Still, Emerson was loved by Tottenham because he had very good chemistry with his fellow players. Emerson once appeared on a Brazilian television network, saying, `I think Son Heung-min is Brazilian. It's our friend. The way of thinking is very similar to that of Brazilians. I really like Son Heung-min once." In fact, Son Heung-min and Emerson were close even outside the stadium.
