Calcio Mercato suggest that AC Milan could target Aston Villa’s Matty Cash instead of Tottenham’s Emerson Royal if the Brazilian proves too expensive this summer.
AC Milan are keen on Emerson Royal
The report claims that Emerson Royal himself is very ‘enthusiastic’ to join AC Milan above any other club this summer, as he looks set to leave Tottenham Hotspur.
In fact, Emerson has reportedly left other options on ‘stand-by’ while he concentrates on trying to secure a move to the Serie A giants.
Unfortunately for Emerson, AC Milan are still thinking things over, and need a few more days to decide whether to press ahead with an official bid to Spurs.
AC Milan could turn to Matty Cash instead
AC Milan are well aware of the conditions needed to sign Emerson this summer, with Spurs quoting a price of €25m (£21m). However, the Serie A side are thinking about starting with a €15m (£12.7m) bid.
Milan are also keeping an eye on Matty Cash’s situation at Aston Villa and are ‘waiting for signs’ from the Premier League club about any conditions to sign him.
Cash would reportedly cost around €35m (£29.6m), even more than Emerson, but Milan are hoping to get a discount from Aston Villa.
Whatever the case, it appears only one of Emerson Royal or Matty Cash may join AC Milan this summer.
Spurs Web Opinion:
Emerson Royal is much better suited to Serie A football than the Premier League. It is a little slower with more emphasis on defending as a right-back, which suits his skills down to the ground.
I think £15m is a completely fair price for Emerson this summer and would expect Spurs to accept any bids in that kind of region.
