Tottenham want at least £20 million for Emerson

Atletico Madrid want to improve their right-back situation and one of their main targets for this is Emerson Royal. He currently plays his football at Tottenham Hotspur. The Brazilian arrived at the London club last summer after Barcelona recalled him from his loan at Betis, to sell him on to Spurs to alleviate some of the financial pressure at the club.

Those at the Wanda Metropolitano have accelerated negotiations for him in recent days and now, 'Football Insider' has revealed that the English club have received an initial offer for the Brazilian international.

No specific figures have been released regarding the offer from the Spanish capital. However, one detail has been mentioned regarding the price tag Tottenham have placed on their player. This being £20 million. This figure coincides with his current estimated market value. Conte is prepared to let him go despite him being an important member of his squad last season: 40 appearances, 31 starts, one goal and one assist.

'Los rojiblancos', have been left wanting on the right flank ever since Trippier left them in the January transfer window last season. Marcos Llorente has since had to reinvent himself as a right-back in order to fill the void. However, it is by no means his natural position and so Emerson would certainly make up for this shortcoming in Simeone's squad.
