“Milan Competes with Al-Nassr for Tottenham’s Emerson Royal”
Emerson Royal is a key target for AC Milan’s right defense, with ongoing negotiations with Tottenham. However, Ben Jacobs reports that Al-Nassr is also interested. Milan’s recent offer for Emerson Royal was rejected by Tottenham, who seek around €20m. Although Milan hoped to find a middle ground in upcoming talks, this now seems challenging.
Journalist Ben Jacobs mentioned on PlaybackTV that while Emerson Royal joining Milan is possible, Al-Nassr’s entry into the race might help Spurs get their desired price. Competing with a significant offer from Al-Nassr would be tough for Milan, as Tottenham aims to maximize the transfer fee. Milan is also considering Lille’s Tiago Santos as an alternative, though he is not a priority.
Al-Nassr could meet Tottenham’s demands, but convincing the player might depend on offering a substantial salary.
