Résumé Complet

The club has contacted Flamengo with a €9 million (£7.7m) offer for the 27-year-old Brazilian, who joined them last summer after three years and 101 games at Spurs. Royal helped Flamengo win Copa Libertadores and Brasileirão but has faced injuries and limited starts. For Unai Emery's side, he offers Premier League experience and versatility at right-back or centre-back, filling gaps as Matty Cash's deputies depart—all while staying PSR-compliant. Flamengo needs cash after a recent sale, and talks with agents show progress ahead of Brazil's Serie A restart on July 22.

Point Clé

Aston Villa are chasing Tottenham's former right-back Emerson Royal back to the Premier League, eyeing him as smart depth amid squad changes.

Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter, serving concurrent federal and state sentences, while opinions online remain deeply divided and Minneapolis marked the day with vigils calling for police reform.
