BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona continued its low-budget remodeling by recalling Brazilian defender Emerson Royal from loan on Wednesday in the club’s third new arrival in as many days. Barcelona said it exercised a clause in Emerson’s loan deal that had allowed him to play for Spanish league rival Real Betis for the past two-and-a-half years. Barcelona signed Emerson from Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro in January 2019 for 12 million euros ($14.6 million) but immediately loaned him to Betis. The 22-year-old right back has played as a regular starter for Betis, becoming its most-used player while providing 10 assists last season. ___More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsLoading...
