CM: Milan’s €14m offer for Tottenham defender rejected | OneFootball

AC Milan have had their first offer of €14m for Emerson Royal rejected by Tottenham Hotspur, with the Premier League side holding out for at least €20m.

As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, Milan will have to stump up more cash if they want to add the Brazilian to the squad this summer.

Milan are clearly serious about signing Emerson given a bid was made, but it is not clear whether they intend to return with another offer that is closer to Tottenham’s €20m price tag.

Milan are intent on signing a right-back who can provide competition for Davide Calabria’s place and also bring more depth. Calabria underwhelmed last season and some feel he was too comfortable with his place in the team.

The Rossoneri have already attempted to sign Matty Cash from Aston Villa and Tiago Santos from Lille to no avail.

The positive for Milan when it comes to Emerson is that they already have an agreement in place for his personal terms. The former Barcelona man would be paid €3m per season on what could be a five-year deal or a four-year deal with an option for another year.

At the moment, Milan will have to raise their bid or Tottenham will need to soften their stance.
