Barcelona Inclined On Selling Right Back Who Is Linked To Play For Everton
KEY POINTS
- Barcelona's right-back Emerson is currently on loan to Real Betis
- It's expected that Barcelona will have to offload Emerson to the summer market
- Clubs such as Everton have gained interest for the young star
The unexpected global pandemic has forced teams to be more prudent in terms of their organization’s finances. The new economic landscape of the world would entail difficult decisions if teams would want to upgrade their roster. In Barcelona’s case, they’re expected to offload on the summer market their promising right-back Emerson.
The 21-year-old who is currently suited up on loan for Real Betis is seen as a talent of high potential. The young star is seen as someone who moves extraordinarily well on the field and can anticipate his opponent’s moves thoroughly. With his speed and athleticism, coupled with tremendous control of the ball, he can serve as an asset for any club.
In 38 appearances with Real Betis, Emerson has also managed to score three times and tally five assists. In addition to this, he has career averages of 2.2 tackles, 1.5 clearances and 1.4 dribbles past per game. Many have compared his game to someone of Dani Alves’ caliber as Emerson himself has said he has served as an inspiration growing up.
Per Everything Barca, Emerson may find himself to Everton when the season is over as Barcelona is seeking to deepen their roster. This may seem like a risky move for Barcelona but it’s certainly welcome for other teams such as Everton. Reports have indicated that Everton has garnered interest for Emerson with the news of Barcelona willing to offload him. The defensive abilities of Emerson could fit in right well for Carlo Ancelotti’s club and can be suited as a Seamus Coleman replacement.
Ever since the games resumed, Real Madrid was able to dominate the La Liga standings as Zinedine Zidane’s team is ahead in first place with 77 points in the rankings. It remains as a close fight as Barca is behind with 76 points with a record of 23 wins, seven draws and five losses.
It will be interesting to see how Barcelona moves forward with their roster and if they can further adjust to the economic challenges of the world. With key players such as Emerson possibly leaving, it’s vital to monitor how they can take advantage of their players currently in the team.
