European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano released a video of Emerson arriving at Milan Airport on his personal SNS on the 12th (Korea time). “He is scheduled to undergo a medical test on Monday to become a new AC Milan player and is leaving Tottenham.”
On the 9th, reporter Romano has already put “HERE WE GO” on Emerson’s transfer to AC Milan, which is attached only when both clubs and players have been agreed on. He said, “The deal was signed with Tottenham for a total transfer fee of 15 million euros (about 22.4 billion won) over Emerson’s transfer to AC Milan. Emerson wanted only AC Milan, despite offers from four to five clubs. We agreed with the player last May.”
Emerson moved to Tottenham ahead of the 2021-2022 season. He was appointed as the main right wing-back in Antonio Conte’s three-back tactics, but did not perform as well as expected. Conte was not satisfied with Emerson’s performance, and he added Pedro Porro.
Since the recruitment of the prisoner, Emerson’s position at Tottenham has declined sharply. Coach Enze Postecoglou also put more emphasis on the prisoner. As the prisoner developed rapidly, Emerson only served as a backup. He played left and right or sometimes played as a center back.
In response, Emerson clearly expressed his desire to leave Tottenham this summer. “I want to play regularly. I don’t want to stay in the bench. I have always been professional. But I told Postecoglou that I want to play for Tottenham, and if I can’t do that, I have to look for other options,” he said, expressing his willingness to transfer to Tottenham unless the situation changes.
Tottenham also decided to clean up Emerson, which has become an ambiguous resource. AC Milan has been aggressive. However, the agreement on the transfer fee took a long time. Tottenham wanted at least 20 million euros (about 29.8 billion won), but AC Milan’s first offer was only 12 million won (about 17.9 billion won).
While the two teams failed to agree on a transfer fee, Emerson joined Tottenham in the pre-season. He did his best as a Tottenham player, passing through Japan and Korea. Eventually, with the agreement for a total of 15 million euros, Emerson was leaving Tottenham after three years. He was also a good match for Son Heung-min.
Tottenham has been successful in releasing him this summer. They disposed of Joe Roden, Tanguy Ndombele, Jaffett Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon, Pierre-Mail Heubier and Brian Hill as well as Ivan Perisic and Eric Dier, who were already close to saying goodbye. Hoibier and Hill were sent on loan with a complete transfer clause. Emerson is the 10th player to be released.
