Barcelona and Semedo have almost agreed on a contract that would keep the Portuguese right-back at the club until 2025. Semedo arrived at the Camp Nou in 2017 for 35 million euros. [md]

Holy crap. I used to support this guy before the Bayern debacle. This guy should be sold or kept as back up. Two year contract max. Not five years. No wonder players here get lazy and complacent. Unless you're elite and young you shouldn't be offered a five year contract.
Fuck Barto.

Unless they suddenly doubled his salary it's not the end of the world to renew him. Can still be sold down the road if necessary as he's just 26.

Should bring in a young RB and move Roberto (to midfield...or out the club lol) then though, maybe give Emerson the chance or sign someone else. Can't go with Semedo+Roberto forever, both are okay but not a satisfying long-term solution.

Well of course, performance like that has to be rewarded with contract extensions:lol:.

I really hope he'll be rotated with another RB we will bring.

Why the fuck extending to 2025?

Extend for 2 years if we have no other RB options and go from there.

Jesus Christ.

Doubt he wasn't. He probably rates Semedo and sees him in his plans.

This. Koeman said we lack pace and need to play faster. Won't get rid of one of the few fit players who bring in the necessary athleticism. This forum is fast in judging, especially after bad games. In my opinion Semedo made a step forward under Setien simply by getting game time and gained much needed confidence after that rotating bullshit Valverde did with him and Roberto.

People need to realise that you can't have 11 worldclass players on the pitch. It doesn't work like that. Quality fullbacks are very rare, therefore clubs usually don't sell. People hating on him should come up with affordable names and shouldn't forget that Semedo also looked like a very good at his former club.

Honestly no one care about how good he was at his former club. Ask Andre Gomes, Turan, Coutinho...

People care about it while phantasizing about RBs from other clubs who would do better than Semedo without realising that it is a different pair of shoes to perform for a club like Ajax compared to a club like Barca. People see a player and think and he would perform in the same manner once they are here. That's my point.

Should have offered him a 2 year deal, until Emerson proves himself or we see options on the market.

2025 is just stupid.

Somebody tell Barto that shorter contracts than 5 years exist.
