Tottenham Hotspur are getting closer to making their first sale of the summer transfer season.
Spurs are already demonstrating ruthlessness in dumping players ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s second season in command.
Tottenham recently released Eric Dier, Ivan Perisic, Japhet Tanganga, and Ryan Sessegnon. Tanguy Ndombele appears to be on his way out, having apparently agreed to an early termination of his contract.
Spurs have yet to receive a price for a player, but that could change as AC Milan closes in on acquiring Emerson Royal.
AC Milan are ‘closer’ to signing Emerson Royal from Tottenham.
Royal looks ready to leave this summer after making 24 appearances under Postecoglou last season.
The Brazilian made only 11 Premier League appearances, and despite his versatility, it’s clear he’s not up to Postecoglou’s standards.
Milan‘s director Geoffrey Moncada came to England last week for talks with Royal, and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the two teams are nearing an agreement.
According to reports, Spurs have decreased their demands, and Milan is now willing to move on with negotiations.
Tottenham had demanded a fee of around £25.2 million, but are now expected to accept a bid of around £16.8 million.
Following Spurs’ shift in stance, it is said that Milan is ‘glimpsing the finish line’ in their quest to sign Royal.
Spurs are already looking to replace Royal.
With Royal‘s move to the San Siro becoming more likely by the day, Spurs are already lining up prospective successors for the ‘excellent’ full-back.
Tottenham have reportedly made touch about signing Monaco right-back Vanderson. The Brazilian scored four goals in 20 Ligue 1 appearances last season and would give strong competition for Pedro Porro.
If Royal’s deal to Milan goes through, Spurs will have had a successful start to the summer in terms of player offloading.
