“Wolves Captain Nelson Semedo’s SURPRISING answer when asked about Shock move to Benfica this Summer
Nelson Semedo has addressed questions about his future at Wolves while on international duty with Portugal.
The 31-year-old full-back is set to become a free agent this summer, with his contract expiring at the end of the current season.
Now in his fourth year at Molineux, there is increasing speculation that this could be his final campaign with the club.
It’s reported that Semedo is likely to leave Wolves as the club looks to offload high earners, and he has recently attracted interest from former club Benfica—a move that could be appealing to the player.
While Wolves remain hopeful of convincing Semedo to stay, discussions over a contract extension are still ongoing.
Amidst the rumors, Semedo was asked about his future following Portugal’s Nations League semi-final victory over Denmark on Sunday.
When questioned about the Benfica links, Semedo was quoted by Mais Futebol, saying: “For now, we are with the National Team.
We just finished with the National Team and it’s still too early to think about it. I still have a lot of time to think about it.”
Wolves Must Fight to Keep Semedo
It was perhaps always unlikely that Semedo would reveal much about his future after an international match, or maybe he genuinely hasn’t made up his mind yet.
Regardless, Wolves must do everything they can to retain a player who has become a consistent performer in recent years.
While his first season in England saw some struggles with adapting to the Premier League, Semedo has since grown into a reliable and composed presence at right-back, even stepping up as a capable captain.
Losing a player of his experience and stability would be a major blow for Wolves, and while there are signs of Semedo being open to staying, it remains to be seen whether the club and player can reach an agreement on new terms.
