Tottenham defender Emerson Royal is reportedly in talks with AC Milan for a potential transfer, according to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Brazilian right-back has given the green light for a move to the Italian club, with an agreement in principle already in place for a fee of €20 million.
Milan are looking to bolster their defensive line in the upcoming summer transfer window, with the potential departure of star defender Theo Hernandez looming. Emerson Royal is seen as a possible replacement for the French international, who has been a key player for Milan in recent seasons.
In addition to Emerson Royal, Milan are also reportedly in talks with the agent of Real Madrid defender Rafa Marin. The Spanish center-back, who spent last season on loan at Alaves, is being considered as a potential addition to Milan’s squad for the next season.
However, negotiations with Real Madrid for Rafa Marin could face a hurdle, as the Spanish club is keen on including a buy-back clause in any deal with interested clubs. Despite the good relationship between Milan and Madrid, the inclusion of a buy-back clause could complicate the transfer of the 22-year-old defender.
Milan are expected to continue discussions with both Emerson Royal and Rafa Marin in the coming weeks, as they look to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new season. The Italian giants are looking to build a competitive squad that can challenge for titles both domestically and in European competitions.
Stay tuned for more updates on the potential transfers of Emerson Royal and Rafa Marin to AC Milan as negotiations progress in the coming days. The summer transfer window promises to be an exciting time for Milan fans as the club looks to make key additions to their squad.
