GdS: Emerson Royal embarks on ‘Business Administration’ studies off the pitch

Emerson Royal arrived at AC Milan a month ago and while the start has been far from fantastic, the Brazilian is convinced he can make a difference. At the same time, he has embarked on a new adventure off the pitch, a report claims. 

Milan took some time in the negotiations with Tottenham but eventually reached an agreement at €15m, something James Horncastle labelled ‘the biggest donation in Fondazione Milan history’. In other words, the transfer hasn’t been well received by everyone.

Off the pitch, in addition to settling in, Emerson Royal has also decided to embark on online studies. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, he will study ‘Business Administration’ at Logos University International as he wants to manage his earnings personally.

Emerson Royal is certainly not the first player to juggle training with studies. For example, Tommaso Pobega got a degree in Business Economics and Commerce not too long ago, writing his thesis on Fondazione Milan fittingly enough.

Having said all of this, Emerson Royal is being paid good money by Milan to perform on the pitch and so far, he hasn’t done that. This obviously needs to change and the fans will certainly keep a close eye on him.
