### Emerson Royal Speaks Out Amidst AC Milan Links
Tottenham Hotspur defender Emerson Royal has addressed his future amidst ongoing links to Serie A giants AC Milan. Speaking to Globo, the Brazilian right-back expressed his thoughts on the situation.
#### Transfer Speculations
Emerson Royal has been frequently linked with a move away from Tottenham. The North London club is open to his departure and has been negotiating with AC Milan for some time. Recently, rumors surfaced about his former club Barcelona showing interest, but these claims appear to be a tactic by his agent to expedite Milan’s decision.
AC Milan remains confident in securing Emerson’s transfer. However, no agreement on the fee has been reached yet, as Tottenham’s asking price exceeds €20 million. Milan’s initial offer was below €15 million, with a higher bid expected soon.
#### Tottenham’s Stance and Emerson’s Professionalism
Tottenham is prepared to keep Emerson if negotiations fall through. Despite the ongoing transfer talks, Emerson has returned to training at Hotspur Way, demonstrating his professionalism.
#### Emerson’s Desire for Regular Playtime
In his statement, Emerson made it clear that he is dissatisfied with his current situation at Tottenham. “I’ve always made it clear. I’m very competitive and it bothers me a lot to be left on the bench. I was upset and I told the coach about it. I’ve always been very professional, put the most intensity into training, but this situation doesn’t work for me,” he said. Emerson emphasized his desire to play regularly, noting, “I want to play, and if it’s not here, I understand that, but I want to go somewhere I can play. I want to play for the Brazil team and that is unlikely if I don’t play at club level, so I have to look for new places.”
#### Future Prospects
Emerson Royal’s comments indicate his strong desire to leave Tottenham and seek regular playing time elsewhere. With Pedro Porro establishing himself as one of the best right-backs in the league, Emerson’s chances for regular game time at Tottenham appear slim.
The 25-year-old’s clear message serves as a call for interested clubs, especially AC Milan, to make a move.
