After a prolonged transfer saga, in which Roma wanted to sell him to Real Madrid instead of league rivals Juventus but his will leaned towards the Italian club, he was sold for €12million plus Matteo Brighi, which tagged as €16million, following his former coach Capello's foot steps.
[edit] Real Madrid
After two seasons with Juventus FC with coach Fabio Capello, he moved to Real Madrid in July 19, 2006, again following Capello, costing Real Madrid €16 million.[2] However, due to the declining relationship between Emerson and Capello and Emerson's poor performances for Real Madrid the player, in January 2007, declared his desire to return to Juventus, rumoured to be willing to take a pay cut.[3] However, by May, his performances had picked up considerably, along with a great improvement in the team's results, and on May 12, 2007 he declared his intention to remain with Real.[4] But in his conversation with the radio program "El Larguero", the president of Real Madrid, Ramon Calderon, said that Emerson would leave Real Madrid this summer along with the Italian striker Antonio Cassano for technical reasons.[5]

On April 21, 2009, he and the club arrived at a mutual consent to terminate his contract.
Immediately following his release, Emerson began negotiations with Grêmio with the aim of ending his career with his first club. However, due to international transfer restrictions, Emerson is unable to join Grêmio until August 2009 at the earliest.[7]
