Journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that the Emerson Royal is once again attracting interest from Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabian interest in Emerson Royal returns once more

Emerson Royal‘s proposed move to AC Milan has been dragging on for many weeks and there is no indication at the moment that it is imminent, with the right-back having returned to Tottenham at the weekend to commence pre-season training at Hotspur Way.

In fact, on Wednesday, it was revealed by Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness) that Milan are still quite a long way away from reaching an agreement with Tottenham over the Brazilian.

Al-Nassr’s interest could help Spurs drive up transfer fee

It was explained that the Rossoneri offered just ‘a little more’ than €10m for the 25-year-old while Tottenham are continuing to demand double that fee for the former Real Betis man.

If Jacobs’ latest update is to be believed, Al-Nassr have now also expressed an interest in Emerson, with the journalist claiming that the Saudi club’s entrance into the race could help Tottenham get a bigger fee.

He said on Playback: “That one [Royal to Milan] is a possibility. I’m also told that Al-Nassr have entered the race for Emerson as well. That will, I imagine, allow Tottenham to get the price they are looking for.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I do not think Al-Nassr’s interest would have any bearing on Milan’s negotiations with Tottenham since it is likely that Emerson would not want to move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career.

Another big Spanish or Italian side would have to enter the race to force Paulo Fonseca’s sie to increase their offer.
