Report: Three European giants are eyeing Spurs player valued at £25m
According to Bild, the race for Emerson Royal is now heating up, with a number of elite European clubs eyeing moves for the Tottenham man.
It is now clear that Emerson’s three-year stay at Spurs is expected to come to an end this summer, with the Brazilian having fallen behind Pedro Porro in the pecking order and having struggled for game time this season.
If Bild’s latest report is to be believed, Italian duo AC Milan and Juventus have already expressed an interest in bringing the defender to Serie A, while Bayern Munich have also been linked.
Spurs will sell Emerson Royal for around £25m
The report says that the Bavarian club are ‘one of the several interesting options’ for the 25-year-old, who Spurs are thought to be ‘ready to sell’ for a fee of around €29m (£24.7m).
If Bayern do sign Emerson, it will be the Bundesliga side’s third capture from Tottenham in as many transfer windows after Harry Kane and Eric Dier made the same move.
However, this report from Bild contradicts what was reported yesterday by Florian Plettenberg, who insisted that while the German club had discussed a move for the Spurs man in the past, a right-back is no longer a priority for the side.
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that so many top teams are after Emerson shows that he is far from a bad player. While he might not be a good fit for Postecoglou’s system, he is a very competent and reliable right-back in a conventional back four.
