Barcelona have reportedly decided to extend Emerson Royal’s contract at the club until 2026 after meeting with the Brazilian’s agent on Thursday.
The Catalan giants spoke to Federico Pena to discuss the defender’s role at the club after bringing him back from Real Betis, according to Mundo Deportivo.
There’s been a bit of debate about whether Emerson will stay or be sold on, but the report suggests the right-back is in Barca’s plans for 2021-22.
The club also wants to extend his contract before the defender arrives at the club this summer.
The 22-year-old is currently away on international duty with Brazil after replacing the injured Dani Alves in the squad.
