Emerson Royal released by Tottenham is ready to complete a move to AC Milan.
Emerson Royal’s future has been a hot topic all summer. AC Milan have worked hard to secure a deal with Tottenham for the Brazilian defender and according to Gianluca Di Marzio, the transfer saga has come to an end as Spurs have completed the paperwork for his departure.
While Emerson was an integral part of their first team after his arrival from Barcelona in the summer of 2021, he dropped in the blink of an eye under Ange Postecoglou. Last season, he managed only 24 games and most of them came due to a back injury problem.
He has two years left on his contract at the North London club but they have been looking to sign him throughout the transfer window. AC Milan are well aware of his situation at Tottenham and were looking to strike a deal for a reduced fee. Negotiations with the Premier League outfit were not easy as Daniel Levy was not ready to lower his demands.
Emerson Royal will be a quality addition
But, finally, the Italian giants have an agreement in place for Emerson’s transfer. They agreed to pay 15 million euros plus bonuses to sign the South American man who can play on both sides and as a defender when needed.
The 25-year-old will be a Milan player for the 2024/25 season as the deal has been closed. Both clubs have signed papers related to the sale of players. Tottenham have given Emerson the green light to travel to Italy and undergo a trial before being officially unveiled as a new AC Milan player.
