Reported by: Mônica Alves

On Thursday morning (24), Flamengo closed the signing of right-back Emerson Royal, as reported by Coluna do Fla. Meanwhile, the club and player defined the contract duration: three and a half years, until the end of 2028.

It is worth noting that Flamengo reached an agreement with Milan (ITA) to buy the player. Therefore, the negotiation will take place for 9 million euros (approximately R$ 58 million). At 26 years old, Emerson Royal arrives to occupy the spot left by Wesley, who will go to Roma (ITA).

When will Emerson Royal arrive in Rio de Janeiro?

In summary, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Emerson Royal will travel on Friday (25) to join Flamengo. Therefore, the player's arrival in Rio de Janeiro is scheduled for Saturday (26). After that, the player is expected to go to Ninho do Urubu, where he will undergo medical exams and sign the contract with the most beloved team.

What are Flamengo's reinforcements in the transfer window?

Emerson Royal is about to become Flamengo's second reinforcement in the current transfer window. This is because, on the last Wednesday (23), the most beloved team announced that the club had already agreed on the arrival of Saúl Ñíguez, without costs, after the midfielder terminated his contract with Atlético de Madrid (ESP) and became a free agent to sign with Rubro-Negro.

How was the negotiation?

In summary, to sign Emerson Royal, Flamengo had to navigate Milan's negotiations with Besikstas (TUR). This is because the Italian team had advanced conversations to loan the right-back to the Turkish club, including a purchase option of 10 million euros (R$ 65 million). However, the player was swayed by the offer from the most beloved team and opted to wear the sacred mantle.
