According to Gianluca Di Mazrio, AC Milan have now presented their opening offer to Tottenham Hotspur for Emerson Royal.
AC Milan want to sign Emerson Royal
The journalist says that Milan identified the Spurs star as their number-one target for the right-back role a long time ago, with the Brazilian said to fit the profile that new boss Paulo Fonseca is looking to add to his squad.
It is explained that the Serie A side have shown ‘the most determination and insistence in recent weeks’ over a deal to bring the former Real Betis man to the San Siro.
However, it appears Milan will have to up their bid in order to land Tottenham’s right-back.
AC Milan submit first official bid for Emerson
In recent hours, Milan have allegedly presented Tottenham with an official offer for Emerson but Di Marzio adds that the bid is a long way short of the €20m that the Premier League club have requested for the player.
The Sky Italia reporter adds that the next week or ten days are expected to prove ‘decisive’ for this proposed transfer.
This update comes a few days after Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Emerson has already agreed personal terms on a five-year deal with the Rossoneri and that the Italian side are hopeful of concluding the deal in a matter of days.
Spurs Web Opinion
If the bid is a long way short of Tottenham’s asking price, it will likely be turned down as Emerson is not going to have any shortage of suitors this summer.
However, at the same time, the Lilywhites would also be keen to complete a sale as quickly as possible.
