Tottenham have reportedly rejected the opening Milan offer for Emerson Royal, as they are refusing to drop below the €20m asking price.
According to Calciomercato.com, the first proposal was worth €14m and that is too far off their valuation of the right-back.
The 25-year-old is said to be very enthusiastic about the idea of moving to San Siro, where he can participate in Serie A and the Champions League this term.
His contract with Spurs only runs to June 2026 and he was purchased from Barcelona in the summer of 2021 for €25m.
Tottenham want to recoup most of that figure and seem to have drawn the line at €20m, despite no longer considering him a first-choice pick, so Milan need a significant increase to get a deal over the line.
It is reported Emerson Royal has already agreed a five-year contract with the Rossoneri worth €3m per season plus bonuses.
Negotiations between the two clubs are continuing with work done by intermediaries.
