Nelson Semedo could sign for Manchester City.
Tottenham Hotspur have this week been linked with a move for Barcelona’s Nelson Semedo.
Guillem Balague said on YouTube: “What Spurs want is a right back, and they asked for Semedo – again, somebody that is for sale at Barcelona – but no offer has been received.”
But instead it seems Spurs could miss out, to Premier League competitors Manchester City.
Newspaper Sport report City are in negotiations with Barcelona over a potential swap deal.
The move would see Semedo head to The Etihad in a swap with Joao Cancelo, a Portugal international signed from Juventus last summer who has barely made an impact.
Cancelo’s move came as part of a swap deal with Danilo.
This option gives City an advantage over Tottenham, whose right-back spot is still up for grabs.
Semedo would be challenging for Kyle Walker’s place, a defender who Spurs are yet to fully replace.
Serge Aurier is yet to convincd and Kyle Walker-Peters was loaned out to Southampton. Semedo would be a good option, although their chances appear to have taken a hit.
