Real Madrid midfielder Emerson is being linked with a move to Milan as reports gather pace that his Spanish nightmare is coming to an end.

The Brazilian left Juventus last summer after the club’s demotion to Serie B, but his adventure has been tough.

He’s struggled to adapt to La Liga, he’s been heckled by fans and allegedly refused to play in the 3-2 Champions League win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

With Real already having signed an ideal replacement in the form of Gago during January, a Serie A return is beckoning for El Puma.

Although previously linked with a move back to Juventus, it seems that he could soon be wearing the Rossoneri jersey.

The player has many friends at Milan and boss Carlo Ancelotti would be more than happy to have the 32-year-old at his disposal.

Emerson could either play alongside Andrea Pirlo or replace him when necessary, allowing the tactician the possibility to experiment with formations.

The former Roma man is not the only Merengues player on Milan’s wish list, as it seems that Fabio Cannavaro is also a target for the six-time European champions.

The Via Turati club is hoping to take advantage of the renewed good relationship with Real Madrid, which saw Ronaldo arrive last month, after the summer battle over Kaka.

Yeah I'm sure, if and when Juve come back up, and these two blokes are for sale, they'll buy them back.

Of course I'm not certain, how the fans will receive Emerson. But Cannavaro sure. A bit of his WC reputation still remains.
