Overview
- Sky Sports reports Hull City returned with an improved £22.3 million offer for Emersonn after an earlier £17.3 million bid was rejected and talks with Toulouse remain ongoing.
- Ipswich Town have submitted a rival proposal to Toulouse, though the club has not publicly disclosed the size of its offer.
- Hull Live disputes the widely circulated £22.3 million figure and says Hull’s opening approach was closer to £10 million, leaving the fee and the true level of interest unclear.
- Emersonn is a 21‑year‑old Brazilian who joined Toulouse from Göztepe last summer for about €3 million, scored roughly seven goals and supplied three assists in 2025–26, and is under contract until 2029 giving Toulouse negotiating leverage.
- If a buying club meets the higher reported fee it would likely break Hull City’s transfer record and signal that promoted sides are prepared to spend more to strengthen their squads for the Premier League.
