Emerson is a long-term target for the Rossoneri and could potentially move to Italy in the coming days after a fresh report that AC Milan will send a new bid next week.
Royal has expressed his enthusiasm over the move
AC Milan’s interest in Tottenham right-back, Emerson Royal, has been public knowledge for some time now with Fabrizio Romano revealing in early May that Emerson was ‘high on their list’.
One of the other names on the club’s right-back shortlist was Aston Villa’s Matty Cash, with Gazzetta Dello Sport reporting in June that Emerson had become Milan’s main target after it transpired that Aston Villa would demand more for Cash than Tottenham would for their right-back.
Spurs have reportedly remained firm on their valuation of around £21 million for Emerson Royal, which would see the club almost fully recoup their initial investment on the 25-year-old.

AC Milan now feel confident of agreeing a deal
New reports from Fabrizio Romano have revealed that talks between the Italian side and Spurs for Emerson are ongoing as AC Milan prepare to send a new offer next week.
Romano stated that Emerson has already agreed on a five-year-long deal at Milan and is keen on completing the switch as the two clubs continue to be in contact over a deal.
The bid set to be submitted next week is believed to be in excess of £12 million with AC Milan hoping the offer will be enough for a deal which they are reportedly aiming to get agreed by next week.
He tweeted: ‘AC Milan are prepared to send a new bid to Spurs for Emerson Royal as they hope to get the deal done next week. The proposal will be in excess of €15m, and talks between clubs to continue. Emerson wants Milan to move, as revealed in May; he’s already agreed on five-year contract.’
Spurs Web Opinion
Tottenham have often struggled with player sales, holding out for a certain amount only for the player to depart a season or two later for next to nothing.
The club may have to accept that the price they’re hoping to receive for Emerson won’t be met by AC Milan, who Emerson himself appears to be very keen on moving to.
With Gray signed who can play right back as well as midfield, Spurs should be now in a position to let the Brazilian go.
