The date for Milan to finalise their agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for Emerson Royal is pushed back yet again, but it should be done for €15m plus €2m in add-ons.
The negotiations have dragged on all summer and the fact that the player wanted this transfer has never been in doubt.
The Rossoneri haggled over every detail and Spurs had originally wanted €20m plus bonuses to part with the Brazilian.
That was gradually lowered, while Milan raised their proposal from €12m plus add-ons.
Milan and Tottenham decide Emerson Royal price
According to multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio and Calciomercato.com, the deal will eventually be done for €15m plus €2m in bonuses.
There were suggestions it could be done today, but once again the talks have crawled along and the date is put back by another 24 hours.
All parties remain confident it will not go beyond the weekend and he can fly in for a medical by the end of the week.
Emerson Royal already agreed a five-year contract with a salary worth €3m per season plus performance-related bonuses.
