Milan on Emerson trail
Real Madrid midfielder Emerson is back in talks for a move to Milan after the situation stalled earlier this summer.
The former Roma and Juventus star had been heavily linked with Carlo Ancelotti’s squad and a transfer was thought to be imminent straight after the end of the Liga season.
Milan general manager Adriano Galliani told journalists that there would be no bid for Emerson, as the club wanted to let Yoann Gourcuff develop this term instead.
However, the young Frenchman is still struggling with injury, so it seems as if the interest in ‘Puma’ is back on.
According to the ‘Corriere dello Sport’, it would only take around £4m to bring the experienced midfield maestro to San Siro.
He has already made it clear he is eager to join fellow Brazilians such as Marcos Cafu, Nelson Dida and Ricky Kaka.
Emerson’s agent, Gilmar Veloz, also represents another Milan transfer target – Brazilian Under-20 starlet Alexandre Pato – and is currently in Italy.
The Rossoneri must also focus on bringing in another striker, as they have loaned Ricardo Oliveira to Real Zaragoza.
