"Barcelona" has a new right-back - the Catalans have officially confirmed that they have reached an agreement with Lisbon's "Benfica" for the acquisition of 23-year-old Nelson Semedo. The Catalans paid a lot of attention to the position of the right-back this summer. There were rumors in the media for a long time that they would strengthen it with Hector Bellerin, but the Spaniard decided to stay at "Arsenal," so "Barca" had to cast their nets on the Portuguese football talent. In the official announcement, it is stated that N. Semedo will arrive in Barcelona tomorrow and undergo a medical examination. It is believed that the Spanish vice-champions paid more than 30 million euros for the Portuguese player. N. Semedo had a very successful season with "Benfica" last season and attracted a lot of attention from major European clubs. The defender, who played for the Portugal national team in the FIFA Confederations Cup last season, scored two goals and provided 12 assists in 47 games played."
