Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou plans to sell a number of players this summer to fund his team’s rebuild
Postecoglou has suggested in recent interviews that he will have to be ruthless in getting rid of Spurs stars who are not good enough to achieve his ambitious goals
Tottenham started the 2023/24 season positively and their new style of play excited fans but in the end they missed their target of qualifying for the Champions League
One player who has been at risk of leaving for some time is right-back Emerson Royal, who was axed by Postecoglou at the end of the season
It has been suggested that Emerson will be part of a 10-man squad this summer and a new report claims “multiple offers” have been made for him
Emerson has made 22 appearances in the Premier League this season, occasionally playing as a centre-back while Micky van de Ven is out due to injury
However, Tottenham are believed to have signed a new centre-back this summer, which is why Postecoglou is now ready to part ways with Emerson
European giants ‘offer release’ Tottenham star linked with exit Reports from Brazil say there is a ‘good chance’ Emerson has played his final game for Tottenham
It is thought AC Milan and Bayern Munich have both ‘placed orders’ for the defender, while clubs in Saudi Arabia are also interested in him
However, it’s clear that Emerson “won’t be lured by money” as he prioritizes “mental health” when deciding his next move
He is keen to stay in Europe, which makes Milan and Bayern the “favourites” in the race for his signature
The report does not specify how much the two European giants are asking for Emerson
Tottenham are said to value him at around €29m (around £24
7m) and it remains to be seen whether any suitors match that price tag
What is clear, however, is that Postecoglou does not see the Brazilian as part of his plans and that the player is ready to take on a new challenge elsewhere
The manager said in a recent interview that he wants to complete the transfer as quickly as possible
“It’s not a secret
We are full
It is essential to make the transfer as soon as possible, it is very important,” Postecoglou said
Everything points to Emerson being one of Tottenham’s first purchases of the summer
