Emerson Royal’s move from Tottenham to AC Milan might fall through, report

Emerson Royal's expected move from Tottenham Hotspur to AC Milan has hit a few bumps in the road, leaving the deal up in the air.

What was supposed to be a smooth transfer has turned tricky as both teams deal with some unresolved problems.

Recent reports indicate that negotiations between Tottenham and AC Milan have hit a roadblock. Ben Jacobs, a well-known transfer expert, has revealed that Emerson Royal is no longer a priority for AC Milan.

According to Jacobs, the Serie A club is shifting its focus towards bolstering their midfield and attacking options, putting Emerson's transfer on the back burner.

The crux of the issue lies in the financial terms of the deal. Tottenham has reportedly set a transfer fee of €15 million plus an additional €3 million in bonuses. In contrast, AC Milan has countered with an offer that includes only €2 million in bonuses.

Despite the setbacks, Italian sources suggest that the transfer is not in jeopardy. The publication asserts that while the deal is not yet complete, the transfer remains viable.

The clubs are said to be in the process of resolving the minor details regarding the bonus payments. The expectation is that one of the parties will eventually concede to the other's demands, allowing the deal to move forward.

The two clubs reportedly held an extended conference call to finalize the agreement but were unable to bridge the gap on all issues.

It seems that the primary hurdle is the disagreement over the bonus structure, which has led to the current impasse. However, the deal is still anticipated to be concluded by the weekend, provided that both sides can come to a mutual understanding.

For now, Tottenham and AC Milan are still hashing out the details, with just a few minor issues left to iron out. How these talks go will decide if Emerson Royal will finalize his move to Milan or if more changes are needed.
