AC Milan are on the verge of securing Emerson Royal from Tottenham Hotspur, with negotiations reaching their final stages. The Rossoneri have been pursuing the Brazilian right-back since June as a potential reinforcement for Paulo Fonseca’s squad, and recent developments have brought them closer than ever to finalizing the deal.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the club’s decision to increase their offer to Tottenham comes in the wake of Alessandro Florenzi’s serious injury during a friendly match against Manchester City in the United States. Florenzi underwent an MRI and specialist evaluation, which revealed ligament and meniscus damage, necessitating arthroscopic surgery.
Milan are now pushing to conclude the agreement with Tottenham in the coming week. The transfer of Emerson Royal is seen as a crucial move to bolster their defensive options, especially given Florenzi’s injury setback.
In addition to the Emerson Royal deal, Milan continues to work on other transfer targets. They are pursuing Strahinja Pavlovic to strengthen their defense further. For the midfield, Fofana from Monaco remains a primary target as the club looks to reinforce its central areas.
