Villarreal join the fight to sign Emerson

Emerson is one of Betis' standout players as they look to earn a Europa League spot next season. 

The Brazilian's good form has led to clubs like Bayern Munich showing interest in the player who is set to return to Barca at the end of the player. But the footballer may not leave Spain.

As well as the potential for Barca to keep the footballer when he returns, Emerson has got another suitor in La Liga. 

According to 'Radio Castellon', Villarreal are also reportedly keen on bidding for the Brazilian, who could end up playing alongside one of his current teammates. 

That is because Villarreal have practically sealed a deal to sign Betis' Aissa Mandi on a free.
