El Real Madrid le abre la puerta a Emerson

JOSÉ FÉLIX DÍAZ / Madrid

El representante, Gilmar Veloz, estuvo en las oficinas del estadio Santiago Bernabéu y los dirigentes del Real Madrid le comunicaron que no cuentan con el 'Puma' y que es transferible. El jugador brasileño, de momento, sigue perteneciendo a la disciplina madridista, pero cuenta con ofertas para regresar al fútbol italiano. Concretamente el Milan ya ha expresado en más de una ocasión que estaría interesado en ficharle.

Emerson llegó al Real Madrid la pasada temporada de la mano de Fabio Capello, pero no entra en los planes de la dirección deportiva para la próxima campaña.

Real would ask for Kaka in exchange!

Emerson staying at Real

Real Madrid midfielder Emerson will not return to Italy’s Serie A this summer, his agent has confirmed.

The South American was expected to be heading back to the peninsula after a problematic year in Spain, but that is seemingly not the case.

“I spent three days in Madrid recently and I went for a coffee with [Real sporting director Predrag] Mijatovic,” agent Gilmar Veloz noted.

“During that meeting we did not speak at all about the future of my client.

“Emerson still has two years left to run on his contract and therefore there is no need to even discuss him.

“Emerson has an agreement with Real Madrid and he is not talking to any other clubs about a transfer.”

Veloz’s statement is a little surprising given that it comes just days after Real President Ramon Calderon seemingly pushed him out of the capital.

"It looks like Emerson and Antonio Cassano won't continue at the club," Calderon noted earlier this week.

It was understood that Milan, at the specific request of boss Carlo Ancelotti, wanted to sign Emerson this summer.

The 31-year-old, born in Pelotas, initially moved to Serie A in 2000 after he left Bayer Leverkusen for Roma.

He then followed boss Fabio Capello to Juventus in 2004 before doing the same last summer in the aftermath of Calciopoli.

Carlo has been on the trail for Emerson, ever since last summer. But with these news and the Kaka'-Madrid gossip, I doubt it will go through.

Milan on Emerson trail

Real Madrid midfielder Emerson is back in talks for a move to Milan after the situation stalled earlier this summer.

The former Roma and Juventus star had been heavily linked with Carlo Ancelotti’s squad and a transfer was thought to be imminent straight after the end of the Liga season.

Milan general manager Adriano Galliani told journalists that there would be no bid for Emerson, as the club wanted to let Yoann Gourcuff develop this term instead.

However, the young Frenchman is still struggling with injury, so it seems as if the interest in ‘Puma’ is back on.

According to the ‘Corriere dello Sport’, it would only take around £4m to bring the experienced midfield maestro to San Siro.

He has already made it clear he is eager to join fellow Brazilians such as Marcos Cafu, Nelson Dida and Ricky Kaka.

Emerson’s agent, Gilmar Veloz, also represents another Milan transfer target – Brazilian Under-20 starlet Alexandre Pato – and is currently in Italy.

The Rossoneri must also focus on bringing in another striker, as they have loaned Ricardo Oliveira to Real Zaragoza.
