Milan Seal 5M Emerson Deal
After FIFA agent Ernesto Bronzetti managed to smooth the way this morning, AC Milan and Real Madrid agreed a 5 million euro price for Emerson.
zoom - galleria Emerson's move to Milan could become official in the next few hours, perhaps even later this evening.
The on-again, off-again move seems to be finally in sight after work from Emerson's agent, Erneto Bronzetti.
FIFA-licensed Bronzetti apparently managed this morning managed to convince Madrid to sell the Brazilian to Milan for a fee of 5 million euros. Originally, Madrid president Ramon Calderon wanted a higher sum in exchange for the out-of-favour Brazilian.
After learning of the good news, Adriano Galliani has now departed for Madrid to bring the curtain down on this long-running transfer saga.
The vice-president is no stranger to the Madrid negotiating table, but seemingly goes this time with a promise from Bronzetti that he won't return home empty-handed.
According to reports from Spain, once Galliani shows up, all that's missing is the player's signature.
Such is the agent's confidence that Bronzetti has since been quoted as confirming the deal. "Milan have definitely sealed the signing of Emerson," he told RAI.
Milan have been looking to reinforce their midfield ever since the Moscow tournament, in which they drew against PSV and went down 3-1 against Lokomotiv before coming back to draw 3-3 in a rather end-to-end game.
It was evident there that the midfield did not have the depth required of a top team - not enough quality to suitably replace the likes of Pirlo, Gattuso, and Seedorf.
Emerson and Barcelona's Thiago Motta have been the two names doing the rounds and, while the latter seems to be staying at the Nou Camp for now, the former could become a Rossonero within the next 24 hours... and about time, too.
Madrid president Ramon Calderon marked Emerson's Bernabeu exit earlier this summer, earmarking the former Juventus man as one of the transfer-listed players heading into the transfer window.
Emerson, also known as "The Puma", only arrived in Madrid last summer following Juventus' relegation. The former Roma ace formed part of a defensive midfield partnership for much of the season, but is now out of favour - and clearly unhappy - in the Spanish capital.
It seems that both he and Calderon are finally to get their wish as Emerson leaves Madrid.
