GdS: Milan await response from Spurs after €10m+ defender bid – the latest | OneFootball

Emerson Royal was one of the first names that AC Milan were concretely linked with this summer, and while things went quiet over the past couple of weeks new developments have arrived.

Sky sprung a bit of a surprise last night when they claimed that the Milan management are getting closer to signing Royal from Spurs in addition to Strahinja Pavlovic of Red Bull Salzburg and Lazar Samardzic of Udinese.

According to the latest from La Gazzetta dello Sport, there are a number of players that Milan want to sign who also want to join, and that extends beyond Pavlovic and Samardzic to Youssouf Fofana and Royal.

The negotiation is once again alive for the Brazilian full-back, even if the directors are waiting for news from London. The offer of just over €10m is still on the table and if Tottenham accept, the move will be completed.

Paulo Fonseca has asked for a more attacking right-back to help assimilate his ideas and the former Barcelona man is certainly more forward-thinking than current options like Davide Calabria and Pierre Kalulu.

Emerson Royal a man looking for a bounce back season. In the last Premier League campaign he almost halved his starting appearances with Tottenham, from 20 to 11, and wants a fresh start to try win back a starting spot for Brazil.
