Real Madrid’s bold move: Pursuing Tottenham’s Emerson Royal in shock January transfer bid
Real Madrid appears to have set its sights on a surprise target as the January transfer window closes. The Spanish giants are apparently interested in Tottenham Hotspur’s versatile defender Emerson Royal.
In the midst of injury worries and bans affecting the North London club, the 24-year-old Brazilian showed his adaptability by easily moving from his customary right-back role to a central defender in the last two games.
Despite his outstanding performance in an unusual position, Sports Outlet, Inter Live believes that Emerson’s future at Spurs is in doubt.
For several weeks, Real Madrid has reportedly been keeping a close eye on the Brazilian, identifying him as their top target for improving their right-back options.
However, the La Liga superpower appears to be playing hardball in negotiations, saying that they are only willing to pay €20 million for Emerson’s services. Tottenham, on the other hand, values the player at roughly €35 million.
The story develops as it is revealed that Emerson is apparently ready to leave Tottenham in search of consistent playing time, preferring to leave the Premier League. The January transfer window promises to be an exciting one, and whether Real Madrid can sign the versatile Brazilian remains to be seen.
