Fiorentina made an inquiry to Flamengo for Emerson Royal, a 27-year-old Brazilian right-back and former player for Tottenham and Milan. Valencia also reportedly made a similar inquiry about a potential transfer. However, Flamengo decided not to consider any attempts for the player during the winter transfer window, as he is considered a key part of their technical project. The player has also shown no interest in leaving the Brazilian league in January, so the inquiries did not lead to formal negotiations.
Emerson Royal has an 80 million euro release clause, and Flamengo does not plan to offer any discounts. The defender, who has 10 caps for Brazil, joined Flamengo in July 2025 and his contract runs until the end of 2028. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €8.00m.
