Milan are reportedly pushing hard to lock down an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for right-back Emerson Royal, as Alessandro Florenzi is set to leave.

According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the negotiations are non-stop for the Brazil international, who is only under contract with the London club until June 2026.

He was purchased from Barcelona in the summer of 2021 for €25m and has made 101 competitive appearances for Spurs, scoring four goals and providing two assists.

The asking price is believed to be around €20m, whereas the Italians are hoping to pay closer to €15-18m.

Emerson Royal not only Milan priority

While Milan intensify their pursuit of Emerson Royal, at the same time there are suggestions from transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano that Florenzi will leave despite having a contract at San Siro until June 2025.

They already released one defender, as Mattia Caldara was a free agent after his contract expired on June 30 and he has officially signed for Serie B side Modena.
