The marauding defender is now officially a Blaugrana player after the Liga side exercised their option to buy him outright
Barcelona have announced the signing of right-back Emerson Royal from Real Betis on a deal that runs until 2024.
The Brazilian had been co-owned by both Barca and Betis, with the pair having joined forces to bring the 22-year-old to La Liga in 2019.
The Blaugrana have now exercised their option to buy the player outright for €9 million (£8m/$11m), with Goal having initially reported that the deal was close on May 29.
Speaking earlier this week, Emerson said: "It's a three-year contract. They've always said they were counting on me for next season. Having this recognition is a great thing for a footballer.
"I'm glad, it's a club I have dreamt of playing for since I started in football. To be recognised like that is a big thing for me. Every player wants to play for Barcelona. I want to go there and show what I can do and establish myself at my position."
