Emo wants Roma wages
Roma could lose Emerson for nothing this summer if they fail to hand over his unpaid wages.
The Giallorossi star is allegedly ready to sue if he isn’t given the £700,000 – his salary for the last four months – that he is owed.
If the reports turn out to be true then it would be a massive blow for the capital club who are already struggling to sell the player.
They’ve agreed a £12m fee with Real Madrid but the midfielder has turned down a move to the Spanish giants.
That is because the former Bayer Leverkusen man has agreed personal terms with Juventus.
However, Roma don’t want to release him to one of their biggest rivals – especially because of the frosty relationship between the two sides.
If the stories are confirmed, then the capital club will have around four weeks to pay up or Emerson could have his contract scrapped by the Italian authorities.
That in turn would then see him become a free agent, allowing Juventus to step in without handing over the £8m that they are ready to offer.
Yet there is still a possibility that Roma could keep him at the club but leave him on the bench for the whole of the next campaign.
