AC Milan are on the verge of completing a transfer for Tottenham Hotspur’s Emerson Royal. The negotiations between the two clubs have progressed significantly, with only a small financial gap remaining to be bridged. Milan is confident of finalizing the deal within the next day or two, potentially as soon as this evening.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the arrival of Emerson Royal would fulfill manager Paulo Fonseca’s desire to strengthen the right-back position. The Brazilian defender’s versatility and defensive skills make him an attractive option for the Rossoneri.
Meanwhile, Milan’s pursuit of Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana has hit a snag. Manchester United has entered the race for the player, complicating the situation. While Fofana had previously shown interest in joining Milan, United’s involvement could potentially sway his decision.
The English club has not yet submitted an official offer, but their interest alone strengthens Monaco’s negotiating position. The French club’s asking price for Fofana remains significantly higher than Milan’s current offer.
This development has destabilized the negotiations between Milan and Monaco. If Fofana becomes open to a move to Manchester United, it could pose a serious challenge to Milan’s plans. The situation remains fluid, with Milan hoping to secure their midfield target despite the increased competition.
