La Gazzetta dello Sport reports Milan are in talks with the agents of Tottenham defender Emerson Royal, but Spurs want at least €30m for the 25-year-old.
Milan are interested in Tottenham defender Emerson Royal and have been in talks with the defender’s representatives for a few weeks, reports Friday’s printed edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport on page 19.
According to the report, Milan will be looking for four main targets this summer: a centre-forward, a defensive midfielder, a centre-back and a right-back who can potentially play on the left wing as well.
Emerson Royal: Milan in talks with agents of Tottenham defender
Gazzetta claims that Milan have been following Emerson Royal for a while and preliminary talks with the 25-year-old started a few weeks ago.
The problem for the Rossoneri is Spurs’ asking price, which is around €30m. The Serie A giants are unwilling to match Tottenham’s request and may invest such a hefty sum in any right-back only if they complete a big-money sale, but at that point, they’d also need to replace whoever leaves.
Club directors will make their assessments over the last few weeks, but the Brazilian defender with 23 appearances at a club level this term, is a possible reinforcement for the Diavoli.
