British media TBR Football reported on the 10th (Korea time) 'Royal, who was Tottenham's fullback, can leave the team in a short time and join AC Milan in the Champions League next season' This is the result of rapid progress in talks between Tottenham and AC Milan.
Tottenham are seeking a major overhaul of their squad in the transfer window this summer. Coach Enze Postecoglou's goal is to make a team with younger, faster and stronger offense. To this end, a large number of existing players are being sent out. Tanguy Ndombele, Jaffett Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon, and Joe Roden are leaving the team one after another.
Among these people who leave Tottenham is Emerson Royal. Royal, a full-back from Brazil, joined Tottenham after passing through Barcelona once in the summer of 2021. Royal, who made his name as the league's highest-level full-back in La Liga's Real Betis, joined Tottenham under former coach Nunu Santo, but shortly after, Santo was replaced and Antonio Conte took over and was pushed out of the main position. He failed to adapt to Conte's tactics.

AC Milan was the first team to sign after making the decision to sell. Initially, Milan offered Tottenham 14 million euros (about 21 billion won) as a transfer fee after completing a personal agreement with Royal, which Tottenham flatly refused. Milan seemed to close the negotiating table due to Tottenham's toughness.
Just in time, Barcelona showed interest in re-entry of Royal. Expectations were placed on Royal's revival of performances at Real Betis in the past. The arrival of Barcelona allowed Royal's value to rise further.
But again, Milan came forward aggressively. Milan needs a fullback to go to the UEFA Champions League next season.
TBR FOOTBALL SAYS ON INTERNAL INFORMATION AC MILAN WILL PROVIDE A NEW TENDER FOR ROYAL'S COVERING. Negotiations are expected to conclude within this week,' the report said. According to this, Milan is expected to raise the bid to 20 million euros (about 30 billion won) and deliver it to Tottenham. Tottenham can also approve Royal's transfer for this amount. With the dramatic mood of reconciliation, Barcelona is the only one left to be disappointed.
