Nélson Semedo (26 years old) is one of the most sought-after players in the FC Barcelona given his age, his good physical, technical and tactical benefits and, importantly, that he is not a footballer who is taking on a big chip. In this sense, it also influences that his contract with FC Barcelona ends in 2022 and, therefore, the Catalan club is clear that either they will renew him soon or the time will have come to transfer him. And since Semedo stopped the club’s attempts to negotiate his new contract, it seems that the outcome may lead to a departure of the Portuguese from the Barcelona entity. A goodbye that could be entering an operation that is open or, directly, via transfer to another club.
One of the operations that seems clearer and that at a sports level is stable is that of Semedo by Joao Cancelo, the side of the Manchester City. A factor makes it feasible as soon as the players agree: the representative of the two is Jorge Mendes. Also Portuguese as the two sides, he is a winner of large transactions in the football market.
A higher chip
However, in this situation it can also have its influence what one and the other player charge, regardless of whether Pep Guardiola likes the defensive reliability of Semedo and that Barça likes the offensive power of Cancel. And it is that the City side has at this time a considerably higher tab than Semedo, with which it is evident that this salary mass, if the exchange is made, will fall on the coffers of the FC Barcelona. It should not be forgotten that Cancelo, with its irregularity, has chained three contracts with three powerful clubs in the current football market: the Inter de Milan, the Juventus Turin and last summer the Manchester City in a stratospheric operation in which he was signed by the Ferran Soriano by 28 million euros plus the step of the former madridista Danilo to Juventus. In total, a transaction that went beyond the 60 million euros.
Therefore, although sportingly the change from Semedo to Cancelo fits within FC Barcelona, when the operation is analyzed in terms of economic impact it generates debate. And it is that certainly changing the two players would give Semedo a high value when it comes to scoring his departure in the income section, but it would also generate a significant burden in the salary section the arrival of Cancelo. There is the point of friction.
Setién, happy with Semedo’s attitude
On the other hand, Quique Setién He likes Semedo a lot and is happy with his contribution since the Portuguese is a footballer who takes care of himself and who tactically is not one of those who neglect when they attack, but he almost always recovers with sufficiency and not leaving the team thrown. Of course, nobody forgets at Barça that Mendes It leads to both sides and it will have a lot to say.

Juve, Inter, PSG and Bayern, stay tuned
Not only Manchester City is attentive to Semedo. The truth is that the Portuguese side can boast of having nivel girlfriends ’of a high level. And is that other powerful clubs such as Juventus (where Mendes has to Christian and where do you play Pjanic), Inter de Milan (club of Lautaro), the Bayern Munich and the Paris Saint-Germain of Neymar. Last year he also wanted to sign him Athletic.
