Fulham join Galatasaray in Emerson Royal pursuit | OneFootball

Premier League club Fulham have joined Galatasaray in the race to sign AC Milan full-back Emerson Royal, according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

Despite being contracted until 2028, Royal could be set to leave I Rossoneri just over six months since arriving from Tottenham Hotspur in a £13 million switch last summer.

The Brazilian has nailed down a first-team spot at Milan, having started 16 of his side’s 20 league games, but his future is now uncertain.

As Milan move closer to signing Kyle Walker from Manchester City, they may be open to letting Royal leave permanently or on a loan deal until the end of the current campaign.

They have reportedly agreed personal terms to bring Walker to the San Siro and are now negotiating with Man City over a deal for their skipper.

Fulham are 10th in the Premier League table, albeit only five points behind Newcastle United in fifth.

The Cottagers remain in the hunt to secure European football and are keen to bolster their squad during the ongoing transfer window.

They have also been linked with a move for Coventry right-back Milan van Ewijk amid the uncertain future of Kenny Tete.

Tete has been injured since mid-December but remains in talks with Fulham over a new deal, although no significant progress has been made with just under six months left on his contract.
