Italian football agent Marco Selvaggi has warned AC Milan against pursuing a deal for Tottenham right-back Emerson Royal, amidst reports that the Italian club’s negotiations with the Lilywhites for the right-back are advancing.

AC Milan have been heavily linked with Emerson Royal

Over the last week, a number of reports from Italy have indicated that Milan are making progress in their efforts to land Emerson, who is said to be the Serie A club’s top right-back target.

This includes a recent update by Gazzetta dello Sport, who claimed that Paulo Fonseca views the Brazilian as the ideal fit for his side and that the player had already agreed on a five-year deal with the Italian club ahead of his move.

Meanwhile, Corriere Dello Sport (via TuttoMercatoWeb) claimed on Monday that Milan had seen their opening offer of €12m turned down by Spurs and are now readying a bid of around €15m as they aim to ‘accelerate’ the negotiations.

Royal’s future at Tottenham looks to be uncertain

However, Selvaggi believes that the Rossoneri would be making a big mistake by signing Emerson, insisting that the Spurs defender is not of the required standard of the Serie A giants.

When asked about Milan’s pursuit of the former Real Betis defender, he told Pianeta Milan: “He is a good player but definitely not Milan-worthy. There are stronger full-backs around.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I am convinced that Emerson will prove a hit in Italy, given the slower pace of the game compared to the demands of the Premier League.

The 25-year-old has proven that he is very reliable as a right-back in a conventional back four and I would not be surprised if he becomes a fan favourite at AC Milan, following in the footsteps of compatriot Cafu.
