A new report from Gazzetta dello Sport reveals subtle developments in the transfer deal between AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur for Roberto Emerson, a transfer drama that is slowly approaching its climax. With the arrival of new manager Fonseca, AC Milan's need to strengthen the right back position has become particularly urgent, and Tottenham's Emerson has become Milan's preferred target due to his outstanding performance. Especially when Florenzi was injured, this need became more urgent, further promoting Milan's pursuit of Emerson.
Reports indicate that the next few hours will be crucial for AC Milan, as they may directly determine the success or failure of the deal. In order to accelerate the negotiation process, Milan's management has launched a new round of in-depth dialog with Tottenham, and the differences between the two sides are gradually narrowing. It is reported that Milan recently raised the offer for Emerson, while Tottenham Hotspur has also shown flexibility, significantly reducing the initial 25 million euros price, so that the price gap between the two sides has been reduced to less than a million euros.
Notably, AC Milan have shown strong interest in Emerson while sticking to their financial strategy. Despite concessions from Tottenham Hotspur, Milan maintained their unwillingness to pay a fixed transfer fee of more than 15 million euros, although they were willing to add millions of euros in floating bonuses on top of that to reflect their confidence and expectation in the player's future performance.
Furthermore, the dust has long settled on personal terms, with a deal having been agreed between Emerson and AC Milan a few weeks ago. The Brazilian defender is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Serie A giants, with a salary of up to €2 million per year, which is undoubtedly a full recognition of his strength and potential. As the negotiations between the two clubs become clearer, the possibility of Emerson joining AC Milan is becoming more and more likely, and fans are eagerly awaiting the finalization of this transfer story.
