Barcelona to sacrifice their defender to sign one of the best Premier League defender’s

EMERSON ROYAL

The Brazilian of Real Betis is yet to play a game for Barcelona despite being signed in a joint operation that was carried out by the Betico and the Blaugrana. The former Atletico Mineiro right-back is on loan at the Benito Villa Marin Stadium and has been a huge success for the side this season.

The 21-year-old right-back has scored three goals in the Spanish league and has provided six assists as well. Emerson’s strength lies in his defensive abilities, the Brazilian is physically well-built and has the conditioning to cover the flanks easily due to his pace and stamina.

His sense of interception and tackling has made it difficult for wingers to get past the player on the right-hand side and it seems like he would be the ideal replacement for Nelson Semedo if he is to leave this summer as most reports say so.

Royal has been valued at 18 million euros in the transfer market and it is has been reported that Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham is willing to sign the player for 33 million euros, according to the Boot Room.
