Nelson Semedo

Can't say that Portuguese is my strong suit, and Google translate is only so helpful. All I got from this was a discussion about whether he was worth more or less than the reported bid of 30M and something about an ex-frog...

Anyone who can make more of it?

Well, one guy want him to stay, but concedes to the fact that Benfica need money, but want them to sell him for a lot.

Another guy saying any offer under 40m should not be entertained, but talking some trash about Barca and saying Benfica are stupid as fuck so it wouldn't surprise him if they sell for 30m + incentives.

Some of them happy he had those two bad games in the Confederations Cup as they believe teams will not try to sign him now lol.

A few pages back and they seem to rate him highly, but believe he should stay there for another season.

He was voted the Breakthrough Player of the Season in Portugal after he was injured last season. I like him a lot and think he's very talented, but yeah, it's the Portuguese league and these days you cannot guarantee any young RB signing succeeding. The market is such.

However, we got to make the most of what's available.

If not Semedo, then there are other options such as Sidibe or Ricardo Pereira or Fabinho if he isn't gone already. We're not going to get a Dani Alves in this market. Even Madrid developed Carvajal and Marcelo. Bayern going with Kimmich.

Roberto said yesterday he want to play in the midfield so we absolutely need a RB, especially when it looks like Palencia will continue at Barca B unless Valverde decides otherwise next month.

I dislike reddit football in general, but here's a thread on him with a few Benfica fans chipping in too who seem to rate him highly, and are trashing this source so this seem to be a BS story.

I don't think the Confeds Cup showing should count for that much. As someone mentioned, Kane sucked for England and Donnarumma looked like pure crap for Italy U21 too.

You look at their overall level over an entire season or two, and judge their talent and ability accordingly.

I'd be happy if they bought semedo, all that's needed then is a midfielder and next season should be good

i can't really trust the quality of the portuguese league, remember danilo? he was great with porto, then turned to a lord with real.

at least bellerin is playing in a competitive league.

We are going all in now. Says Barca will travel in the coming hours to Lisbon to accelerate the potential arrival of Semedo.

Good signing imo especially for that price, im sure United were in for him aswell though and bid around 35million? seems odd he'd go for less, i was thinking 40-45m.

Semedo is are plan B. Considering Cat radio and other outlets already confirmed we discarded Bellerin, we are moving onto Semedo.

Plan C will never be Palencia. If he is getting promoted as an alternative to buying a new RB then it will be Roberto or Vidal that is the starter.
