Yesterday and today, Barcelona presented both Eric García and Emerson Royal as their new signings. Both are young defenders, so hopefully these signings can reach their potential here.
Continuing with Emerson Royal, Messi has played against him on four occasions, which were all Barcelona vs Real Betis encounters since 2019. Messi won all four of those games, with both players playing 190 minutes together (when both were on the pitch). Messi scored 4 goals and gave 3 assists while Emerson was on the pitch, which means 1.9 goals per 90 and 3.3 G/A per 90 while they both played at the same time.
As a bonus, here are some pics with Messi and Emerson:
The defense has had some problems in the last season, so hopefully this can ease the situation. Umtiti is transferable so he may go out in exchange for these two signings, and if a good enough offer comes, Lenglet may go too.
In other news, Barcelona is still in talks with Depay, and since he'll play today with De Jong in a friendly, he could get a little more convinced to join the club. And according to some sources, Wijnaldum is a 'done deal' so he may be announced at some point as well.
Those are all the signings and rumors so far, so I hope you liked this entry, and as always, I'll see you in the next blog.
