Emerson Royal transfer from Tottenham upsets Milan fans as Kalulu shines for Juventus
Emerson Royal transfer from Tottenham upsets Milan fans as Kalulu shines for Juventus | OneFootball
Milan fans are even more upset to see Pierre Kalulu shine for Juventus as his replacement at San Siro, Emerson Royal, struggles to adapt to life after a summer transfer from Tottenham.
Juventus’ 3-2 Champions League win against RB Leipzig on Wednesday night further highlighted Kalulu’s importance in the Bianconeri squad.

The versatile France defender was one of the best players on the pitch last night, and Juventus and Milan fans equally praised his performance on social media.
Kalulu joined Juventus on loan with an option to buy from Milan last summer, and the Rossoneri replaced him with Emerson Royal from Tottenham.
Emerson Royal transfer from Tottenham upsets Milan fans as Kalulu shines for Juventus
The Brazilian defender moved to San Siro in a permanent €15m deal, while Juventus paid €3.3m for Kalulu’s loan. The Serie A giants have an option to make his move permanent for €14m at the end of the season.
Several disappointed Milan fans wrote social media messages to Kalulu on Thursday when the Frenchman celebrated Juventus’ latest win on Instagram.
Many others commented on his sale on X, formerly Twitter, highlighting that Emerson has yet to match expectations this season.
Others, however, argue that Emerson and Kalulu’s stats in Serie A games have been pretty similar this season and that Milan lost six consecutive derbies with their former defender, beating their city rivals last month with Emerson Royal in the team.
Time will tell which club made the better deal.
As I’ve been saying since the summer, going from Kalulu to Emerson Royal is sheer incompetence from whoever signed off on that at the top of Milan Absolutely woeful decision https://t.co/PtWVQcxZZE — Matteo Bonetti (@Bonetti) October 3, 2024
Kalulu has been so impressive for Juventus. Has Emerson ever done this? I still can’t believe this transfer happened; glad to see him do well though. https://t.co/Ft7DY8mATc https://t.co/NQVGAIP8tD — gabe🇵🇹 (@itsgabe20) October 2, 2024
I really miss you, Pierino. It’s frustrating how we treated Kalulu just so we could spend 15m on Emerson. pic.twitter.com/08pXxh2Vkf — gabe🇵🇹 (@itsgabe20) October 1, 2024
Weekly Kalulu tweet. We all knew it, stupid move. In fact its unforgivable to have replaced him with Emerson Royal. — Max Lombardia (@LombardiaMax) October 2, 2024
Geez, Emerson Royal always the wrong move, always the worst choice.We had a great player like Kalulu and we gave him away. We paid 15 million for Royal. Unbelievable. No one takes responsibility for this disaster. — Michelangelo Capo10 (@mike_capo10) October 1, 2024
I was on the Kalulu hype train earlier than most, how Milan let him go to sign EMERSON is crazy to me, top RB / RCB hybrid. https://t.co/frZ1KSG7Pj — Middolo BLOCKA (@middolo) October 2, 2024
Absolutely not a steal, but a gift by A.C. Milan’s incompetent managers who should change jobs and go selling ice cream on the beach in the summer. They bought Emerson Royal instead of Kalulu, when everyone who saw him play at least once knew he would be a failure. — Riccardo Rinaldi (@riccardorinald2) October 3, 2024
Milan gifted Kalulu to Juventus to keep Calabria and spend €20M on Emerson Royal. Ridiculous work. — Daniel (@danieIscouting) September 17, 2024
We could’ve had Tiago Santos btw but management wanted to get rid of kalulu (not Calabria) and then sign Emerson. This is what ppl mean when they say massive pain Can you imagine if we sold Calabria instead and then got Santos rather than Emerson. 💔 https://t.co/zARwtfSbz0 — ForzaMilan🇵🇸 (@ForzaMilan_Kobe) October 3, 2024
Anche io avrei tenuto Kalulu, ma questa narrazione su Emerson sta raggiungendo livelli ridicoli. pic.twitter.com/IXiYCpEex7
