Emerson Royal Set to Join Flamengo from AC Milan

Emerson Royal is about to move to Rio de Janeiro to join Flamengo from AC Milan. The reported transfer fee is €9 million, as confirmed by a recent report. The Brazilian right-back will sign a contract until December 2028. He will be one of Flamengo’s big signings this season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Last season, Emerson Royal played for AC Milan. Now, he is flying to Brazil with his agent to finalize his move to Flamengo. The 26-year-old will have his medical in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. The deal is permanent, and Milan is letting him go after just one season. Emerson Royal will replace Flamengo’s current right-back, Wesley, who is moving to Roma.

WHY THIS MOVE MATTERS FOR FLAMENGO

Flamengo is second in the Brazilian Serie A, two points behind leaders Palmeiras. Their defense has been weak, and Emerson Royal will make it stronger. Emerson played 23 games last season for Milan, showcasing his attacking skills and experience. His arrival can improve Flamengo’s performance and give them an edge in future matches.

WHAT COMES NEXT FOR ALL TEAMS INVOLVED

Once Emerson Royal joins Flamengo officially, Wesley will fly to Italy. He is expected to join Roma, and his medical is already scheduled. Flamengo’s next game is against Grêmio, who are sixth in Serie A and nine points behind them. If Flamengo wins, they can get closer to Palmeiras.

Meanwhile, AC Milan is preparing for the Serie A season opener against Cremonese, who got promoted from Serie Blast season. The next few days are important for all teams as they finalize their plans for the season.
