Real Betis Holds Talks in Milan for Asllani and Emerson Royal

Football & Cricket

Representatives from Spanish club Real Betis are currently in Italy, engaged in discussions regarding potential transfers for Inter midfielder Kristjan Asllani and Milan full-back Emerson Royal.

The La Liga club is reportedly in intensive negotiations to bring these two Serie A players to Spain.

Inter midfielder Kristjan Asllani is a primary target. He reportedly hasn`t impressed coach Cristian Chivu sufficiently to be considered a key player, even in the scenario where Hakan Calhanoglu stays at Inter.

The Albanian international joined Inter from Empoli for €15.7m and is under contract until June 2028. Last season, he made 39 appearances, scoring three goals and providing three assists.

Inter`s asking price is understood to be around €20m, significantly higher than the €8m offer reportedly made by Betis.

Concurrently, Betis are also reportedly interested in acquiring Milan right-back Emerson Royal. The player was signed by Milan from Tottenham Hotspur just a year ago for €15m but has seen very limited playing time.

For the Brazilian, this move would mark a return to Real Betis, where he previously played from 2019 to 2021.
