Milan are reportedly pushing hard to lock down an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for right-back Emerson Royal, as Alessandro Florenzi is set to leave.
According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the negotiations are non-stop for the Brazil international, who is only under contract with the London club until June 2026.
He was purchased from Barcelona in the summer of 2021 for €25m and has made 101 competitive appearances for Spurs, scoring four goals and providing two assists.
The asking price is believed to be around €20m, whereas the Italians are hoping to pay closer to €15-18m.
While Milan intensify their pursuit of Emerson Royal, at the same time there are suggestions from transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano that Florenzi will leave despite having a contract at San Siro until June 2025.
They already released one defender, as Mattia Caldara was a free agent after his contract expired on June 30 and he has officially signed for Serie B side Modena.
