Emerson Royal, a right-back who is leaving Tottenham Hotspur, has publicly expressed his admiration for Milan amid rumors that he is being linked to the Rossoneri.

He has also confirmed that talks are still ongoing between the two clubs. Although there were earlier discussions suggesting Emerson was interested in joining Milan, the player has now dispelled any doubts by openly flirting with the seven-time European champions amid the club’s efforts to mediate a deal with Tottenham. ”

The truth is that I don’t have anything definite, of course. Knowing that Milan are talking to Tottenham and asking about me is very satisfying,” Emerson said in an interview with Brazilian journalist Andre Hernan on his YouTube channel, as reported by Calciomercato.

The legendary Brazilian football players who joined Milan are well-known. Let’s watch to see what transpires. It’s a really great, “heavy” jersey, and I’m glad to know you are searching for me.

Milan is also pursuing a right-back in the Premier League in addition to Emerson. Matty Cash of Aston Villa has emerged as Paulo Fonseca’s team’s major target, although the Lions’ asking price is still a source of contention. The Polish star is valued by Unai Emery’s team at approximately €35 million.

Emerson has surpassed Cash on the team’s shortlist since Milan has no intention of paying Villa’s outrageous asking price. He won’t be inexpensive, though. In 2021, Tottenham paid Barcelona over €30 million to get him, and they fully anticipate recovering their outlay of funds.

Milan, however, is hoping to negotiate a reduction and seal the deal at about half that amount, supposing that the player will want to join them.
