Milan, 23 June 2024 – Emerson Royal opens (definitely) to Milan. The 25-year-old right-back, currently on holiday in Brazil, was interviewed during a charity tournament. And when asked a specific question about his possible future in Milan he was clear.
“I know that the company is in contact with Tottenham and not for the moment there is nothing defined. They asked about me and it’s very rewarding. Many Brazilian players have played for Milan, it is a very important and heavy shirt. Knowing that I am followed by a team like that makes me very happy.”
A wink, in short, even when asked if he knows the language: “I worked with Conte who is Italian…”. The deal could close around 20 million, the right winger is under contract with Tottenham until 2026. He spent his third season at the London club, not as first choice, ending with 24 appearances and one goal. In the Premier League he played a total of 101 games, with 4 goals and 2 assists.
In the past a parenthesis at Barcelona and two and a half years in La Liga with the Betis shirt. He has played 10 times with the national team: first called up in November 2019, he then returned to Brazil at the end of last year, when he started two qualifying matches for the next World Cup against Colombia and Argentina.
