Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal has arrived in Milan as he prepares to join AC Milan on a four-year contract, with an option for a fifth year. The transfer from Tottenham Hotspur marks the culmination of protracted negotiations between the two clubs, with Milan securing the player for a fee of €15 million plus an additional €2 million in potential bonuses.
Calciomercato report how the deal was facilitated by the persistent efforts of Milan’s management, who managed to reduce Tottenham’s initial asking price of €25 million. Emerson Royal is highly regarded by Milan’s scouting team and is expected to provide strong competition for Davide Calabria in the right-back position.
Emerson arrived at the private clinic La Madonnina around 8:40 AM to undergo medical examinations, a crucial step before finalizing his move to the Rossoneri. The 25-year-old has already agreed on personal terms with the club and is set to wear the Number 22 jersey, a number previously donned by fellow Brazilian and Milan legend Ricky Kaka.
This transfer is seen as a strategic addition to AC Milan’s squad, providing depth and quality in defense as they prepare for the upcoming season. Fans eagerly await Emerson’s official unveiling and his contribution to the team’s ambitions.
