Tottenham full-back Emerson Royal is expected to complete his move to AC Milan this week.

Emerson Royal’s future has been the talk of the town since the start of the transfer window. With the Brazilian full-back no longer a part of Tottenham’s plans moving ahead, AC Milan have been working very hard to sign him.

While talks between the two clubs did stall because of differences in valuation, the Italian outfit recently reignited their interest and according to Fabrizio Romano, Emerson Royal is expected to complete his move to AC Milan this week after one final round of talks.

After failing to fire at Barcelona, the Brazilian international joined Spurs in the summer of 2021. While he was an integral part of their first team in the initial years, the arrival of Ange Postecoglou saw him go down the pecking order and the majority of his appearances last season came because of an injury crisis at the back.

Since he is not a part of the Australian manager’s plans, Spurs have been looking to cash in on him with two years left on his deal. AC Milan have been in negotiations with the North London club for some time now. While they did take a backseat because of their high valuation, the Italian club are now on the verge of completing his signing. They are all set for one more round of talks with Tottenham today and are confident of getting the final green light to seal the deal this week.
