Brazilian outlet Premier League Brasil shares some interesting updates on Emerson Royal’s situation at Tottenham Hotspur.
The website claims that with AC Milan now looking weaker in the chase for the fullback, another club joined the race.
It’s first explained that the Rossoneri, who already had a €15m bid rejected by Tottenham, made a second attempt and again failed to reach the €20m request.
Now Borussia Dortmund joined the battle and outbid Milan by offering €20m. Emerson, however, is still to give the green light to that move.
It’s been repeatedly said that the player had a verbal agreement with the Rossoneri, so perhaps that could give them some extra time to find a deal with Tottenham.
Earlier on Friday, reports in the Italian media hadn’t sounded very optimistic about that, though, as it was claimed that the Serie A giants were looking at other options due to Spurs’ asking price.
So we should now wait and see if the player is as keen on joining the Champions League finalists as he was about signing for Milan.
