Even though Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte was many times said to be looking for a new right-back, that doesn’t mean he wants Emerson Royal gone immediately.
Italian outlet CalcioMercato.it today features a story saying Inter Milan are interested in the Brazilian, as the ‘rumours of a possible Nerazzurri attack’ for the player have been growing.
They claim to have had ‘access to an internal source’ in that negotiation. And their first information is that the Serie A side are still to place any offers for the Tottenham player.
However, Antonio Conte would only let the player go in case Tottenham sign another right-back. It’s claimed the coach actually ‘vetoed’ the Brazilian’s departure until the replacement arrives.
All that operation should take a while, though, as Inter Milan also depend on the sale of Denzel Dumfries before they move for Emerson. That makes the whole scenario a little unlikely for the January window, with a bigger possibility in the summer.
