The deadline for Milan to finalize their agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for Emerson Royal has been pushed back once more, though the deal is expected to be completed for €15 million plus €2 million in add-ons.
Negotiations have dragged on throughout the summer, but there has been no doubt about the player’s desire for the transfer. The Rossoneri have meticulously negotiated every detail, with Spurs initially asking for €20 million plus bonuses for the Brazilian.
Over time, Tottenham reduced their asking price, while Milan increased their offer from €12 million plus add-ons. According to sources including Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio and Calciomercato.com, the deal is now anticipated to be finalized at €15 million plus €2 million in bonuses.
Although there were hopes that the agreement might be reached today, the talks have once again stalled, delaying the finalization by another 24 hours. However, all parties remain optimistic that the deal will be completed by the weekend, with Emerson Royal expected to arrive for a medical examination by the end of the week.
Emerson Royal has already agreed to a five-year contract with Milan, with an annual salary of €3 million plus performance-related bonuses.
