Background: Milan’s Pursuit of Emerson Royal
AC Milan are on the verge of signing Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur. The Rossoneri have been interested in the 25-year-old for some time but initially focused on other targets such as Alvaro Morata and Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana during the first month of the summer transfer window.
Injury Setback: Florenzi’s Injury Accelerates Transfer
Milan’s urgency to secure Emerson Royal increased after veteran full-back Alessandro Florenzi suffered a serious injury during a pre-season friendly against Manchester City in the United States. Florenzi is set to undergo surgery for ligament and meniscal damage, leaving a gap in Milan’s defense.
Transfer Details: Milan’s Improved Offer
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Milan submitted an improved offer to Tottenham worth around €14-15 million plus add-ons for Emerson Royal. The two clubs are close to reaching a total agreement, and the Rossoneri hope to finalize the deal next week.
