The possible interest of Flamengo in right-back Emerson Royal, currently at Milan (ITA), triggered a mobilization of the red-black fans on the player's social media on Wednesday (23). Thus, the Brazilian's profile was 'invaded' by fans, who asked for the athlete's signing.
"Come to Flamengo", comments a Flamengo fan. "Come to Flamengo to win titles", invites a user. So, the comments are from one of Emerson Royal's most recent posts, whose best moment in his career was at Tottenham (ING) when he was called up to the Brazilian national team.

While Flamengo fans are inviting him, Besiktas fans are trying to scare Royal away. This is because the Turks went to Flamengo's social media to beg the Most Beloved to prevent the right-back's arrival in Turkey.

"Oh, it's a good thing we have Flamengo, they took a chronic player like Emerson, no Besiktas fan wanted him", comments a Turkish user. "He's an impressive player. We want to see him on your team", says another.
Besiktas is in advanced negotiations to sign Emerson Royal on a one-year loan. Additionally, the Turkish club has already agreed on all details with Milan, including a purchase option of 10 million euros (R$65 million). Therefore, Flamengo is trying to 'steal' the player from the Turkish team at the last minute. The information is from journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The right-back would arrive to take Wesley's place, who is leaving for Roma (ITA). Therefore, Emerson Royal would compete with Uruguayan Guillermo Varela, whose contract is expected to be renewed soon, for a starting spot.
