Galatasaray has set its sights on Emerson Royal. Initial contacts have been made
This was reported by several sources already such as Fabrizio Romano, Matteo Moretto and Milannews.
There is, in fact, an ongoing dialogue between the two clubs, and there are real possibilities that the Brazilian full-back, who arrived at Milanello last summer from Tottenham, could leave during this winter transfer window to make way for Kyle Walker, the Manchester City defender whom Milan is aiming to finalise a deal for with the English club in the coming hours.
No room for Emerson Royal anymore at Milan?
With the arrival of the Englishman, who can also play as a center-back, and without any departures, Milan would have as many as five right-backs in the squad: Calabria, Royal, Jimenez, Terracciano, and Kyle Walker besides the ex Tottenham man.
A departure therefore seems necessary, and for this reason, the Rossoneri are reportedly pushing for the Brazilian's exit, as he has failed to convince since his arrival at Milanello.
Naturally, it will be necessary to persuade the player to leave the club, and the Turkish club will also need to present an offer that satisfies the Rossoneri.
