Emerson Royal has admitted that he is open to the prospect of joining AC Milan but insisted that the transfer has been far from finalised yet.
Emerson to AC Milan seems to be gathering pace
Over the last couple of weeks, plenty of Italian outlets have made it sound like it is only a matter of time before Emerson swaps the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the San Siro (Gazzetta dello Sport).
However, Football.London’s Alasdair Gold insisted on Thursday that the deal is far from done, explaining that Milan had only spoken to the right-back and had not had any concrete negotiations with Spurs.
The journalist explained that the 25-year-old’s priority is to get regular game time next season, whether that be at Tottenham or elsewhere.
He also revealed that apart from Milan, Flamengo had also expressed an interest in signing the Brazil international while several Saudi clubs are also keeping an eye on his situation.
Emerson says AC Milan have contacted Tottenham
Emerson has now broken the silence over his future, admitting that he would be happy to join the Rossoneri if the move materialises.
When asked about the reports linking him with a switch to the Serie A giants, the Tottenham man said on Andre Hernan’s YouTube channel: “The truth is that I still don’t have anything defined. Obviously, to know that Milan is in conversation with the club [Spurs], they are looking for information on me.
“For me, it is very gratifying because Milan is a team known for having Brazilian players, right. We know there have been some great Brazilians to have played for them. Let’s wait and see what’s going to happen.”
Spurs Web Opinion
While it is clear that Emerson wants to make the move, the big question is whether Milan would be willing to meet Tottenham’s asking price.
At the moment, it seems like the Rossoneri are also exploring other right-back options and have not made up their mind yet.
