Miguel Rico wrote an article on the process in regards to Semedo.

Barça had blocked Semedo since May

-Robert tied the deal with the side, Sanllehí has ​​spent two months trying to lower the price with Benfica and Valverde, who did not know him thoroughly, relied on the technicians of the club

When Barça in the 2008-09 season formalized the transfer of Dani Alves for 35.5 million (which with variables ended up being more than 40 for Sevilla ), the investment recommended by Txiki Begiristain seemed an outrage. How could you pay so much money for a right back? Well they were paid and the investment was more than profitable. Alves ended up being the best player in the history of Barça in that position.

Nine years later, Barça announced the hiring of Nélson Semedo for 30 million plus 5 in variables . A price similar but incomparable by two essential questions. One: the market today is skyrocketing, inflated. Two: while the Portuguese still have to consolidate, Dani came to the Camp Nou . There was no other right side like him in the window. Semedo will have to prove it and until his performance confirms the impressions of the technicians of Barcelona , we will not know if it has really been expensive, expensive or cheap, very cheap as Alves ended up being .

For what can happen, the Barça has given maximum confidence from the first day. He does not want his signing to be interpreted as a second-table plate because of Arsenal's resounding refusal to negotiate the return of Hector Bellerín and explains that 'Nelsinho' is not Plan B of the former Barça, but has always worked with those two options, in equal conditions. That is, it has never been raised in this market names published as Azpilicueta, Cancelo , Sidibé and company. Four different coaches of Barcelona, including Robert , have followed the side of Benfica throughout the season, Seeing him live (League and Champions games) in Lisbon and some displacement. The reports were unanimous and in May Barça's own technical secretary met in Barcelona with Luís Filipe Ferreira Vieira , president of Benfica , to start talking about the matter.

Moreover, official sources say that Barça was calm because he had more than controlled, blocked Semedo for two months and that during all this time Raul Sanllehí's work has been to negotiate with Benfica to lower the 50 million clause . A commitment that also has been committed the player because from the start and with other offers ( Manchester United , who has already signed Benfica to the Swedish central Victor Lindelöf and Juventus , who wanted it precisely as a replacement for Alves ) said that His will was to play in Barcelona.

With the fieldwork completed and the hiring of Valverde as Barcelona's new coach being already official , Soler , Robert and Sanllehí exposed the details of the operation to Txingurri and Ernesto , who did not know Semedo enough to have an opinion, Relied on the decision of the technicians of the house and gave way to the incorporation of the player. With the problem of the right side solved, the trainer went away of vacations with the family to the photographic safari that had programmed.

Vidal?

El Mundo Deportivo writes that we have to pay 5 Millions for each 50 matches, but this time they say: UNTIL a 2nd contract extension!

So, this rule applies right now and during the first contract extension.
MD says that a player needs to play more than 45 minutes according to a contract.
MD also says that Semedo will sign a new contract after his 1st year here and the 2nd contract after 4-5 seasons.

Barca expect to pay additional 10M for Semedo, but that sum could be also higher if he will play a lot of matches in the first 2 seasons, or if he won't get extensions, or if the 2nd extension will come after 4-5 years.

Google translate:

Benfica has issued a statement detailing the amount of the operation that has made Nélson Semedo a new player of FC Barcelona until June 30, 2022. The fixed amount that will pay the Barça for the transfer amounts to 30,569,728 Euros. It will have to add five million euros in variables for every 50 official matches that the Portuguese international plays with the Barça shirt "during the period of the current sports contract and the possible first renewal of said contract." He did not explain that the matches must have a minimum of 45 minutes, as Mundo Deportivo has been able to confirm, to be counted.
That is to say, if the side has continuity in the Camp Nou (the average of a titular player is of about 40-42 matches per course), the Barça could get to pay 10 million more at most since it is assumed that before To reach 150 duels (already in its fourth or fifth season in the azulgrana club) would have renewed for the second time. The Barca club plans its first contract review in its second year as its record is low. The second improvement would arrive in its fourth or fifth season, before it played 150 game like culé.
40 million, price according to the market
From the Barça club it is good to see that the time comes to finish disbursing those 10 million in two payments of five each as it would be synonymous with a great performance of a young player like Semedo in a context of football market inflation. Without going any further, Benfica has sold goalkeeper Ederson to Manchester City for 40 million fixed euros and central Lindelöf to Manchester United for 35 'kilos'. And in the right side, the City has made official the signing of Kyle Walker , from Tottenham for 57.6 million euros, much more than it has cost and can cost Semedo to Barça .
On the other hand, Nelsinho , 23 , has signed until 2022 for FC Barcelona . The contract has stipulated a termination clause of 100 million euros.

An interesting contract...

Sport saying it's a max of 10m being paid.

If he plays 100 games or 150 games for Barca in the current environment, with the press who were desperate for Bellerin, it would mean that he became a great success, so I don't see many complaining then if the transfer fee reaches 40 or 45m in total.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

It's an interesting way of a deal. It's good for the paying party. If the player turns out to be great, you pay the additional sum willingly. If not, he doesn't play anyway and you didn't lose that much money compared to a higher fixed fee. Pretty sure Renato Sanches has a similar contract.

 

[xXKonan]

I think this deal will satisfy Benfica and Benfica fans and us obviously.

If he comes good then I will have no qualms of paying the bonuses and for Benfica if he does come good it pushes the fee closer to what they originally wanted.

 

[Barcaman]

So basically we forked 45 mil. on a RB. So much for a bargain or a good deal. It's always with these bent clauses. Always. Whether we buy or sell. Bunch of incompetent assholes.

40 or 45m if he plays 100 or 150 games.

If he plays that many games, he'll very likely be worth it.

But yeah, they made it sound to be something else. Thought it was 30 + 5m only after 50 games, but obviously not.

But then again Susana Monje also said Neymar cost 20m so

 

[Barcaman]

Well Gomes already played 30+ games. Semedo as only real RB will surely play more.

 

[denn]

If he plays 250 games for club, then, we'll pay 55M for him. Who gives a fuck? That would mean he's amazing RB.

 

[DonAK]

Well Gomes already played 30+ games. Semedo as only real RB will surely play more.

I don't think Valverde will have the same love for an underperforming player as Lucho did

It seems like Valverde has put his trust on Robert and his team for players this summer according to Miguel Rico of Mundo Deportivo, so it's not a personal request as Lucho.

Besides, the press really love Bellerin and are already questioning his signing, so if they get an opportunity to start their Bellerin to Barca stories again, they definitely will.

It's like Ter Stegen vs Courtois all over again.
