Milan Seal 5 Million Emerson Deal

After FIFA agent Ernesto Bronzetti managed to smooth the way this morning, AC Milan and Real Madrid agreed a 5 million euro price for Emerson.

Emerson's move to Milan has now become official, with vice-president Adriano Galliani declaring on the club's website: "Milan communicate that they have signed Emerson from Real Madrid on a permanent basis."

The on-again, off-again move has finally been completed after work from agent Erneto Bronzetti.

FIFA-licensed Bronzetti managed this morning managed to convince Madrid to sell the Brazilian to Milan for a fee of 5 million euros. Originally, Madrid president Ramon Calderon wanted a higher sum in exchange for the out-of-favour Brazilian.

Milan have been looking to reinforce their midfield ever since the Moscow tournament, in which they drew against PSV and went down 3-1 against Lokomotiv before coming back to draw 3-3 in a rather end-to-end game.

It was evident there that the midfield did not have the depth required of a top team - not enough quality to suitably replace the likes of Pirlo, Gattuso, and Seedorf.

Emerson and Barcelona's Thiago Motta had been the two names doing the rounds and, while the latter seems to be staying at the Nou Camp for now, the former is finally a Rossonero... and about time, too.

Madrid president Ramon Calderon marked Emerson's Bernabeu exit earlier this summer, earmarking the former Juventus man as one of the transfer-listed players.

Emerson, also known as "The Puma", only arrived in Madrid last summer following Juventus' relegation, and cost the club 16 million euros.
