`Tottenham will make some money' Even defender Royale and Barcelona, who were cunning, will join the recruitment battle. Good news for the increase in transfer fees

Jul 04, 2024

It was ambiguous to write, and it was a waste to throw it away.

Tottenham Hotspur is expected to earn an unexpected transfer fee. This is due to the sudden popularity of right-side defender Emerson Royal (25) in the transfer market, who was about to sell it due to its ambiguous utilization.

Initially, Italy's Serie A AC Milan was almost the only one to negotiate and take it at a cheaper price than expected, but suddenly a big competitor appeared. Barcelona in Spain's Primera Liga actively wants Royal.

Tottenham Hotspur is expected to earn an unexpected transfer fee. This is due to the sudden popularity of right-side defender Emerson Royal (25) in the transfer market, who was about to sell it due to its ambiguous utilization.

Initially, Italy's Serie A AC Milan was almost the only one to negotiate and take it at a cheaper price than expected, but suddenly a big competitor appeared. Barcelona in Spain's Primera Liga actively wants Royal.

British media TBR Football reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Barcelona has begun a move to recruit Tottenham's outstanding defender this summer'

Barcelona's sudden participation in the recruitment competition is quite welcome for Tottenham. This is because the transfer fee that AC Milan was trying to hit naturally increased the market price due to the emergence of a rival called Barcelona. It is a very natural market principle.

TBR Football quoted a report by Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo saying that `Barcelona are looking to sign Tottenham defender Royal.' Royal joined Tottenham after going 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.

However, coach Enze Postecoglou took over and began to regain his old reputation. Still, it still fell somewhat short of expectations. In a word, it was 'Gyereuk'. It was a shame to use it, and it was a shame to throw it away. In the end, Tottenham targeted Royal for sale.

AC Milan was the first to react positively. Tottenham wanted around £21m. Milan, however, offered a much smaller amount. Daniele Longo, a reporter for Calcio Mercato, said AC Milan would not give more than 14 million pounds. Tottenham didn't have many options.

However, things have changed with the emergence of Barcelona. If Tottenham offers an amount close to the £21 million level they want, Royal is likely to go back to Barcelona. Given Chairman Daniel Levy's tendency, it is possible enough.

Even for Barcelona, which is not financially good, 20 to 21 million pounds is not a very burdensome amount. Barcelona originally wanted Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United. However, Manchester United want to receive about half of its investment of £50 million. That means Barcelona will have to spend around £25 million to bring in Wan-Bissaka. This is a burden for Barcelona.

In this situation, the £20 million Royal is quite attractive. Tottenham can also secure more financial benefits by sending it to Barcelona than to Milan. It's a win-win for both Tottenham and Barcelona. Milan are likely to be culled out naturally.
