The former Barcelona and Real Betis full-back has agreed to a four-year contract with the option for an additional 12 months. He is set to receive around €3m in annual salary.

He becomes Milan’s third new signing of the summer, following the additions of former Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata and ex-RB Salzburg centre-back Strahinja Pavlovic.

Emerson is set to wear the no. 22 shirt during his first season under Paulo Fonseca.

Negotiations between Milan and Tottenham went on for months in the end, but the two clubs finally reached an agreement on fees and the structure of the deal last week. That is despite the fact that the Rossoneri had an agreement on personal terms with Emerson several weeks prior.

Emerson is a 10-time Brazil international, who made his debut for the Selecao in a 3-0 win over South Korea under Tite back in 2019.

He has 73 LaLiga appearances to his name from his two-and-a-half seasons on loan with Real Betis, plus a further three in the Spanish top flight from his brief time in Barcelona’s first team.

He has spent the last three seasons in the Premier League with Tottenham, where he made just over 100 appearances in all competitions.
