Milan expect to have Emerson Royal from Tottenham within 48 hours

Milan are confident that Tottenham Hotspur will let Emerson Royal leave for his medical over the next 48 hours after months of negotiations.

The right-back made it clear earlier in the summer that he wanted to make the move to San Siro and agreed personal terms, but getting a deal done with the club was a very different matter.

According to Tuttosport and Tuttomercatoweb, the talks are now down to the final details and it could be all over within 48 hours.

The final cost of the operation is believed to be €15m plus €1-2m in performance-related add-ons that might be quite difficult to activate.

This is a significant discount from the original Spurs asking price of €18m plus bonuses, but still rather more than Milan had intended to pay.

Emerson Royal a long-standing Milan target

The 25-year-old has 10 senior caps for Brazil and his versatility has impressed the Rossoneri, as he can play as a right-back, in a more advanced role or even in central defence when needed.

His contract with Tottenham Hotspur only runs to June 2026, but they paid €25m to sign him from Barcelona in the summer of 2021.

Emerson Royal amassed 101 appearances in the Spurs jersey, scoring four goals and contributing two assists.
