Flamengo recently received a proposal from the English club Aston Villa for the 27-year-old Brazilian international Emerson Royal. The offer is reported to be for €9 million, which is almost R$ 53 million. A concrete decision on the player's future has not yet been made because the right-back is highly valued by the club's technical commission and football department. The financial aspect is under discussion, as Flamengo is considering making one or two more sales to balance its finances.
The proposed fee is the same amount that the Brazilian club paid to sign Emerson Royal from Milan in 2025. The player's contract is valid until December 2028. Emerson Royal has 10 caps for the Brazil national team. In the 2025/2026 season, he has made 8 appearances and provided 1 assist in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €5.00m.
