CaughtOffside report that AC Milan are expected to re-open talks with Tottenham Hotspur in the near future as they walk away from a deal with Aston Villa.
Emerson Royal has been linked with AC Milan ever since the transfer window first opened, and even gave an interview to Globo about how much he wanted regular first-team football next season.
Fabrizio Romano also reported that AC Milan had reached an agreement on terms with Emerson himself, which would see the Brazilian sign a five-year contract with them.
However, the price was a sticking point in the deal. AC Milan wanted to pay £8.4m for Emerson, which was rejected by Spurs because they want double that fee – £16.8m (Alasdair Gold).
GiveMeSport added that talks between Spurs and Milan had stalled, but Borussia Dortmund, Al-Nassr, and Al-Qadsiah were all still interested in Emerson.
CaughtOffside now report that AC Milan will attempt to restart talks with Tottenham over a potential deal to bring AC Milan to the Serie A this summer.
It is said that AC Milan had moved on to Matty Cash as their next target when talks with Tottenham hit a roadblock, but Aston Villa’s asking price for the Poland star is simply too high.
As such, it is now expected that Milan will turn their attention to other right-back targets for the rest of the transfer window, including Emerson Royal.
Spurs Web Opinion:
I don’t think AC Milan are going to get a better right-back for £15m this summer, so it makes sense for them to haggle with Spurs a bit and meet in the middle somewhere.
Tottenham will want to get the likes of Emerson, Bryan Gil, Giovani Lo Celso and Sergio Reguilon sold in the next two weeks to free up some cash.
