Brazilian defender Emerson has insisted that he would be "ready" to represent Barcelona should the Spanish champions bring him to Camp Nou for the 2020-21 campaign.
The 21-year-old signed for Barca from Atletico Mineiro last summer but immediately joined Real Betis as part of a joint financial operation.
The Catalan giants can allegedly bring the defender to Camp Nou for £5.2m in 2021, but a recent report claimed that they could instead take up an £8m option to sign him ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
Emerson has said that he would be "ready" to represent Quique Setien's side next term.
"I didn't think I would get to this level so quickly. and this season has been the best one of my life. Things move fast, but I am ready to play for any team, including Barcelona," Emerson told Ace.
The right-back has been in impressive form for Betis during the 2019-20 season, contributing three goals and five assists in 23 La Liga outings.
