Milan are in the final stretch of talks with Tottenham for Emerson Royal and are pushing to close out a deal ahead of next week.

The Rossoneri have been targeting a new right back for a number of weeks now and believe the 25-year-old Brazilian full back is the right option for Paulo Fonseca’s squad, adding some cover to Davide Calabria, who hasn’t agreed a new contract with the club still.

Milan and Tottenham have been in talks for a while and Emerson Royal is keen to complete the move, keen to try out a new adventure in Italy. The Rossoneri are hoping to pay around €15m plus add-ons, whilst Spurs are seemingly holding out for a €20m fee.

Page 10 of today’s Corriere dello Sport details how Milan do not want to waste any more time and want to finalise a deal with Tottenham for Emerson Royal within the next 48-72 hours.

The final details are still being resolved but the Rossoneri are confident that a move can be finalised soon, allowing them to switch focus to other transfer targets like Roma striker Tammy Abraham.
