"Barcelona" continues to plan for the future - they have completed a deal with the "Atletico Mineiro" club for the acquisition of 20-year-old right-back Emerson. The Catalans paid a promising Brazilian player 12 million euros. The player himself will arrive at Barcelona in the summer and sign a five-year contract. The defender will not stay in Brazil - he will finish the season playing in the highest Spanish league. It is likely that he will also have the chance to meet with "Barcelona" this season. Seville's "Real Betis" has announced that they have loaned a defender until the end of the season. Emerson has played 25 matches in the Brazilian league.
