AC Milan is making a third attempt this summer to sign Emerson Royal after failing in their previous efforts. Reports indicate that Tottenham plans to offload Emerson as part of a squad overhaul, with Fabrizio Romano suggesting he could leave as early as June. Milan, along with Bayern Munich and several Saudi Arabian clubs, have shown interest in the Brazilian defender. Previously, Milan attempted to sign Emerson in 2020 and 2021, but Tottenham secured him instead.

Tottenham Hotspur are scheduled to play Bayern Munich twice within a week following the announcement of an additional friendly match. Earlier today, Tottenham confirmed they will face the Bundesliga champions in South Korea as part of the Coupang Play Series 2024, a set of pre-season games featuring top clubs from Europe and Korea.

Kane, Tottenham’s record scorer, left the club last summer to join Bayern in an £86.4 million deal plus add-ons, after scoring 280 goals in 435 appearances for Spurs.

Roberto De Zerbi is emerging as a potential candidate for Napoli after leaving Brighton, despite no interest from Milan and denials from Bayern Munich directors. De Zerbi’s departure from Brighton was officially announced, effective after their final Premier League game against Manchester United. While his background with Milan might suggest a fit, he is not on their candidate list. Additionally, Bayern Munich’s director Max Eberl has denied the possibility of an Italian coach taking over. However, some Italian sources indicate that De Zerbi could be the secret candidate for Napoli as talks with Antonio Conte continue. This would be a return for De Zerbi, who has a history with Napoli both as a player and a coach, and his preferred 4-3-3 formation aligns with Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis’s vision.

Despite the competition, Newcastle is ready to battle for Ouedraogo’s signature, highlighting their determination to secure his talents.
