Now: Flamengo announce signing of Emerson Royal | OneFootball

Emerson Royal is Flamengo’s second signing in this transfer window

Flamengo announced the signing of Emerson Royal on Saturday night (26), on the eve of the match against Atlético-MG. The player is the second reinforcement for the red-and-black team in this transfer window, as Saúl Ñíguez was introduced this past Friday (25).

WHEN DID EMERSON ROYAL ARRIVE IN RIO?

Emerson Royal arrived in Rio de Janeiro on the morning of Saturday (26). Shortly after, the full-back went to Ninho do Urubu to undergo medical exams and then signed the contract with the Most Beloved, together with football director José Boto.

HOW LONG WILL THE CONTRACT BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND EMERSON ROYAL LAST?

After rumors of a possible loan offer, Flamengo decided to acquire Emerson Royal’s rights permanently. Thus, the red-and-black board will pay 9 million euros (about R$ 58 million) for the right-back. In addition, the player signed a contract with Mengão valid for three and a half years, that is, until December 2028.

WAS THE NEGOTIATION SMOOTH FOR FLAMENGO?

Flamengo had to ‘climb a mountain’ to secure the signing of Emerson Royal. That’s because Milan was already in advanced talks to loan the full-back to Besiktas (TUR), including a purchase option of 10 million euros (R$ 65 million). However, the red-and-black interest ‘shook’ the Brazilian, who is now preparing to wear the Sacred Mantle.

WHEN WILL EMERSON ROYAL BE PRESENTED?

Emerson Royal has signed the contract, but Flamengo has not yet set a date for the full-back’s presentation. However, the expectation is that the player will make an appearance at Maracanã and meet the Red-and-Black Nation on Sunday (27), before the interstate classic against Atlético-MG, for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship.
