“Since it is a different experience from playing the original Persona 5, carrying over save data for things such as stats and the Persona Compendium is not possible. However, if you have save data for Persona 5, you will receive a useful bonus at the beginning of the game.”
The same will apply to any DLC that you have purchased for P5. They won’t immediately transfer to P5 Royal but have to be purchased again with a small fee.
