Despite Tottenham's high transfer fee demand, the courtship toward Emerson Royal is steady.
England's Team Talk reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'Enze Postecoglou was angry at Tottenham's failure to transfer, but a new team of interest emerged quickly'
Emerson joined Tottenham in the summer 2021 transfer window. Although he showed poor performance in the first season, he was expected to take charge of Tottenham's right side with Pedro Porro. However, this season, there are more cases of playing center back and left fullback, which are their original positions, due to being completely overwhelmed by captives. He is also close to Son Heung-min. Along with his usual friendly appearance, he also praised him, saying, `Son Heung-min is a Brazilian born in Korea.' However, due to the possibility of this transfer, SON will also leave.

However, it was already difficult for Emerson to stay at Tottenham from the start of the transfer market this summer. Tottenham, which has decided to strengthen its forces under Enze Postecoglou, will sell off all of its players who are out-of-power resources and Emerson has not been excluded from the list. Emerson was likely to leave Tottenham with the attention of other teams even before the transfer market opened.
The team mentioned as the most likely destination was AC Milan. Some Italian media reported that `Emerson has agreed personal terms with Milan, and negotiations between Milan and Tottenham continue. Emerson Royal also claimed that Emerson's move to AC Milan was close despite offers from other clubs.
However, Tottenham's firm negotiating attitude forced AC Milan to back down. Tottenham stuck to a transfer fee of 20 million euros (about 30 billion won), and AC Milan had no intention of satisfying it. In the end, AC Milan takes its foot out of the negotiations.

Fortunately, another team immediately expressed its intention to recruit appeared. Team Talk 'Emerson's transfer to Serie A appears to have failed. However, the transfer is not over. Dortmund has opened the door to recruit Emerson. Dortmund reportedly offered 20 million euros, which is higher than AC Milan,' he said, explaining that Dortmund could meet Tottenham's demand for a transfer fee.
If Dortmund makes investments to recruit Emerson, it could be of great help to Tottenham, which wants a lot of investment this summer. Starting with Emerson, Tottenham will also start selling the summer transfer market in earnest.
