The Emerson transfer saga is over after Milan announced his capture from Real Madrid this evening.
Reports in Italy gathered pace this afternoon that the Brazilian was on the verge of joining the European champions and that has proved to be reality.
“Milan communicate that they have signed Emerson from Real Madrid on a permanent basis,†read a short note on the Rossoneri’s website.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani flew out to Madrid earlier today to complete the deal after weeks of talks.
It’s understood that the veteran has signed a two-year deal at the San Siro after Real accepted a fee of around £3.7m.
I can't say I'm unhappy with that. The price is what surprises me, I thought they originally wanted closer to £8m! Good deal for us.
