Emerson Royal, who was loaned by FC Barcelona to Real Betis, has spoken about his future in a press conference with his national team, as he confirmed returning to the Catalan club in the next summer transfer window, amid reported interest from AC Milan, among others. Here are his words:
“I know that Barcelona has spoken with Betis, where I was playing on loan, to let them know that they want to get me back. My loan ends at the end of this season, therefore, as of July 1, I am a Barcelona player, and I wish to fulfill the three-year contract that I have signed. For me it is a dream to play for Barcelona. And if this possibility has appeared it was fundamentally as a consequence of my work, my determination and the evolution that I have had during the time that I have played in Betis. I am very happy. The recognition that Barcelona has had in me has been key in my career, now I hope to show my work at Barça.”
