Could AC Milan return to the Brazilian era? That's the question that comes to mind when the fans reminisce about some of the best moments of the club in recent history when it was led by the likes of Rivaldo, Kakà, Cafù, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Thiago Silva and even Pato as well as other stars from different eras.
There was a time when Milan spoke only Brazilian. Golden periods that are no more and perhaps will never return, but meanwhile, on the list of various targets for the Rossoneri's transfer market, there are a couple of players of Brazilian nationality. Both are defenders, and both would come from the Premier League, writes Milan News.
The first is 25-year-old Emerson Royal, Tottenham's right-back, who would strengthen the right flank currently occupied by captain Davide Calabria. The value estimated by the Spurs is quite high: 30 million euros. Recently, the Rossoneri club met with his agent Castagna and is working on the negotiations from the player's side.
The other name is a familiar face to Italian football, which could be an advantage: it's the central defender Igor who is 26 years of age, formerly of SPAL and Fiorentina. Last summer, the Brazilian moved to England, from Viola to Brighton, coached by De Zerbi, where he made around thirty appearances. The British club bought him for about 17 million plus 3 million in bonuses and, for this reason, would want to recoup the expense if they decide to sell him: therefore, 20 million euros would be needed, as told by La Gazzetta dello Sport.
