Milan have been able to positively conclude one of their lengthy negotiations, as Emerson Royal arrived in Italy on Sunday night and sealed his move on Monday. He’s their third summer acquisition after Alvaro Morata and Strahinja Pavlovic.
According to Mediaset, the Rossoneri will spend €15M plus add-ons for the Brazilian fullback. They have been haggling for him all window long. He signed a four-year contract with €4M wages and an option. He has chosen no.22.
Emerson Royal has always been very determined to join Milan, which helped the Italian team in the talks with Spurs. In the end, they got him for much less than the initial request. The fullback was eager to go since he had fallen out of favor under coach Ange Postecoglou.
The 25-year-old spent three seasons with Tottenham after coming in from Barcelona in 2021. He racked up 101 appearances, 4 goals, and 2 assists. He starred for Ponte Preta, Atletico MG, and Real Betis earlier in his career and has 10 caps with Brazil.
Our Take on Milan and Emerson Royal
They’ll have a well-assorted duo in the right-back position now, and also another Theo Hernandez deputy in a pinch, making their XI less lopsided, even though Paulo Fonseca hasn’t seemed in a rush of being aggressive in those roles. There were more interesting options out there, but the price tag was rather reasonable. Little by little, the Rossoneri’s plan is coming together, but a holding midfielder is essential for their squad to function properly.
