Romano: ‘Here we go’ – Emerson’s Milan exit near as agreement reached with Flamengo

AC Milan are seemingly in the process of finalising Emerson Royal’s departure, in a move that has happened rather quickly. 

In the past 24 hours, there has been a lot of talk about Emerson’s situation, with it seeming like he was heading to Besiktas last night. However, things changed, and he seemed more likely to head back to Brazil.

This morning, reports confirmed that the Brazilian was set to return home permanently, with a €10m offer on the table from the South American giants. Now, it seems things are ready to be wrapped up shortly.

Emerson to Flamengo ‘done’

As Fabrizio Romano writes, the defender’s exit is done with the two clubs in the process of exchanging documents to finalise the deal, something which was expected, according to the journalist earlier today.

However, the figures have been clarified a little. It seems that, instead of the top end of the reported bracket, the Diavolo will instead receive €9m, which will still be an aid to the club this summer. Whilst also his wage will be removed from the club’s books.

Yes, Milan will record a loss on their books. Nevertheless, it is better than nothing, and his short period with the club can be forgotten.
