Emerson Royal will not stay at Tottenham. Relegated in many matches by coach Ange Postecoglou, the fullback is looking for a new team with two possible destinations that would also involve a change of country.
The Brazilian is inclined to accept the offer from AC Milan, in full reconstruction to try to break the winning streak of their city rivals Inter.

The Rossoneri have Davide Calabria, who has one year left on his contract, and Alessandro Florenzi, who at 33 years old does not have much playing time left in the club.
With an offer that would be around 20 to 25 million euros, the Italian club would keep his services. Their interest in signing him is long-standing, dating back to the time he spent, without glory or pain, at FC Barcelona.
However, a Spanish team is pressing to bring him back to LaLiga. Villarreal, who narrowly missed out on a European competition spot, have also expressed interest in the former Ponte Preta and Atlético Mineiro player, who had a well-remembered stint at Betis.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reported that the player’s “priority” is Milan. The team also has Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee, who played this season at Bologna, as one of its main targets for this transfer window.
