Spurs and Aston Villa Fullbacks Too Pricey for Milan

Milan have been searching for an offensive-minded right back and are pursuing Emerson Royal and Matty Cash. However, they currently consider the demands by Tottenham and Aston Villa excessive, Gianluca Di Marzio informs.

The Rossoneri recently met with the agent of the Brazilian defender for preliminary talks. On the other hand, he has a €25M price tag. In addition, it’d be a non-EU signing. The management would have to factor that into their comprehensive strategy.

On top of Emerson Royal, Milan kicked the tires on Cash, but he might be even more expensive. He has been a staple at Aston Villa since 2020, when he joined in a €15.75M move from Nottingham Forest. He has tallied 5 goals and 3 assists in the most recent campaign. He has 15 cash with Poland.

The Rossoneri have also been linked to Lille’s Tiago Santos. He’s the most affordable out of the trio, and Paulo Fonseca knows him very well. The newcomer would compete with Davide Calabria at the position.

Our Take on Milan, Emerson Royal, and Cash

They are surely operating very carefully for a team that’s in great financial shape. It’s not easy to find impactful fullbacks at an affordable price, especially from the Premier League. They have done a lot of business with Lille over the years. At those sums, they might as well go after Torino’s Raoul Bellanova, who’s already familiar with Serie A, even though his fit in a four-man defense would have to be verified.
