Will AC Milan move forward
As Emerson Royal is a soccer player, he desperately wants to play consistently.
European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on his personal SNS on the 11th, "I want to play consistently. I don"t want to be on the bench," expressing his desire to push ahead with the transfer.
"I"ve always been professional. But I told coach Enze Postecoglou at Tottenham that I want to play and if I can"t, I have to look for other options," Emerson said, adding that he has already conveyed his position to the club and Postecoglou that he wants to play regularly.
Currently, Emerson wants to move to AC Milan. Tottenham are attempting to clean up Emerson for the first time in three years and approached after AC Milan showed an interest in him. The agreement between the players and the club came very quickly.
Already, AC Milan have agreed to grant Emmerson"s desired conditions. "Contact with the player has already begun. Negotiations have been positive. Both salary and contract period have already reached an agreement in principle, and all bonuses and details must be defined as an agreement is reached between clubs," he said, reporting that Emmerson is ready to move to AC Milan.
The problem is that negotiations over the transfer fee between AC Milan and Tottenham are still at a standstill. It is understood that Tottenham want at least 20 million euros (about 29.9 billion won) for Emerson"s transfer fee. However, AC Milan have no intention of paying 20 million euros. According to the BBC, AC Milan thinks the amount is 12 million euros (about 18 billion won).
As negotiations continue to be delayed, Emerson appears to be attempting to play the media. It may be an action to ask Tottenham to cut the transfer fee. On the contrary, it may be pressuring AC Milan to propose a higher transfer fee.
As Emerson conveyed his position this time, one thing became clear: he wants to play regularly. To be cool-headed, this is impossible at Tottenham. Last season, Destiny Udoji and Pedro Porro showed impressive performances in the league. In comparison, Emerson did not give a clear belief in any position.
Emerson grew up leaving Real Betis on loan after joining Barcelona as a child. Barcelona sold Emerson due to financial problems, and Tottenham wanted him. Under Antonio Conte, Emerson received many opportunities, but only exposed disappointing performances. Since the recruitment of the prisoner, he has lost his starting position. He played only as a rotation member last season. He wants to leave Tottenham for more opportunities.
