Arsenal and Liverpool are just two of the clubs in the race for Atletico Mineiro defender Emerson, according to reports.
The 20-year-old has garnered the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs since his move to the Brazilian side last April.
A Brazil Under-20 international, the right-back is contracted up until 2022.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have identified Emerson as a potential summer signing to boost their defensive ranks.
Premier League side Watford are also interested in a move for the youngster.
Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Valencia are just some of the names also linked with a move.
However, injuries to the backlines of both Arsenal and Liverpool have meant both clubs may need to delve into the transfer market.
Hector Bellerin is set to miss up to nine months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during the 2-0 win over Chelsea.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez are also out for the Reds, although neither injury is long-term so a summer move could fit into Jurgen Klopp’s plans.
