As learned by SPORT, Barcelona will look to fully redeem Emerson from Real Betis and will look to keep him on the squad for next season. Barca and Real Betis purchased the player in a joint purchase a couple years ago, and he has made all of his league appearances with Real Betis thus far. It has been reported that Barca would look to fully redeem their player, then sell him for a profit, but that does not seem to be the case anymore.
Those at Camp Nou believe that the Brazilian will adapt well to their game, and will be a vital piece to the squad next season. Emerson will be a regular in the rotation, and seen as "not touchable" when it comes to this summer's transfer window. An announcement for the acquisition of the player by Barca is expected soon.
Milan looked to reinforce their full-back position behind Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria. With two rotational player in Laxalt and Dalot likely moving away from the Rossoneri this summer, management hoped to find a suitable replacement for the starers. Emerson certainly made Maldini's short list, but the player's fate has been decided in Barcelona. If the club were to sell the player, it would liklely be for an expensive price tag, as the profile has plenty of upside.
