Nelson Semedo is about to close his transfer for English Wolverhampton. The player no longer attended the session at the Ciutat Esportiva this afternoon, as he had permission from the club to finish signing his signing for the Premier club. In fact, Barcelona is the most interested in this operation coming to fruition -There is talk of a figure of about 35 million euros- to have ‘cash’ in order to be able to face some of the reinforcements that Ronald Koeman has requested.
At first Semedo is expected to travel to England in the next few hours to complete his transfer to the 'Wolves'. The march of the Portuguese international will leave a gap on the right side, which the Blaugrana club will have to reinforce, since He only has Sergi Roberto and he is not exactly a natural defender. It should be remembered that the other right-back of the squad, Moussa Wagué, was loaned this morning to Greek PAOK.
In principle, the ideal candidate would be the Ajax defender, Sergiño Dest, but Bayern is also behind the young American, so that its incorporation seems complicated a priori. Other names that come to the fore, such as 'low cost' options, are Max Aarons, from Norwich, and Emerson, Barcelona side on loan to Betis, which the club could recover this season by paying a penalty.
Who was still in the afternoon session participating in the training as one more was Luis Suarez, despite the fact that the Uruguayan striker would have already reached an agreement to collect a part of the compensation due to him for the year that remains of his contract and march with the freedom letter under his arm to sign for the team he wants, presumably Atlético de Madrid. The novelty in the session was the presence of the Argentine defender of the subsidiary, Ramos Mingo.
