Tottenham Hotspur could see Brazilian right-back Emerson Royal depart this summer as Saudi Arabian giants Al-Nassr plot a bid to bolster their squad alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
The transfer window has been busy for Spurs, who have secured Timo Werner on another loan deal and offloaded players like Tanguy Ndombele, Ivan Perisic, Japhet Tanganga, and Ryan Sessegnon. Despite these moves, Tottenham’s summer business is far from over, with Emerson Royal now attracting interest from Al-Nassr.
Al-Nassr, known for their significant signings including Ronaldo from Manchester United, are preparing to make another splash in the market. After failing with a bid in January, they are set to revive their pursuit of Emerson Royal, who is reportedly open to joining AC Milan but awaits their formal offer.
Journalist Ben Jacobs highlighted the potential for a Saudi move on the Last Word on Spurs podcast, suggesting Daniel Levy might negotiate multiple player sales to Middle Eastern clubs, with Emerson as a prime candidate for departure.
Should Emerson leave, Spurs will need to find a replacement at right-back to complement Pedro Porro next season. Former Tottenham player Kyle Walker-Peters was a target, but recent reports suggest he may join West Ham United in a swap deal involving Flynn Downes from Southampton, leaving Spurs to reconsider their options in defensive areas.
