One of the more underrated subplots heading into the summer is how Emerson Royal’s contractual situation will go. The full-back is co-owned by Real Betis and Barcelona. The two clubs will need to come to some sort of agreement this summer, and the decision could have a profound impact on the clubs.
Emerson made sure to let us know he was purely focused on Betis as of now. We’ll just have to wait and see if that focus holds out if Betis try and keep him this summer.
“I don’t think about Barcelona or anyone else, only Betis,” he said.
