Emerson: Milan are the greatest --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emerson has flown in to finally completing the move to Milan. “I wanted to leave Real Madrid and join the best club in the world.”(But why didnt he join Juve then :eyebrows: )
The Brazilian’s transfer had collapsed completely earlier this month, but the two sides came to an agreement for a permanent switch worth £3.4m.
“I am truly happy,” said the midfielder as he arrived at Linate Airport. “I wanted to leave Real Madrid and join the best club in the world. Now I really feel reborn.”
The deal was only completed after Emerson agreed to take a £1m per season pay-cut to pen the two-year contract.
Before he flew away from Madrid, the former Roma and Juventus star had harsh words for President Ramon Calderon.
“Calderon treated me badly. He never said a word or made a gesture towards me. Unfortunately, there is a wall between the team and a part of the club, as those who make the decisions have created a clear distance.
“In any case, at the end of the day I have to thank Real because they allowed me to join Milan.”
On Thursday Emerson will undergo his medical and pass through the many tests at MilanLab.
“I do not suffer from recurring groin problems, as some people would like you to believe. I am here to train well and reach my form as soon as possible.”
