What's the future of Semedo? Cancelo swap, Lautaro makeweight, PSG target...

The Portuguese right-back attracts Manchester City, where they offer Cancelo to swap, and Inter whose Lautaro is a target for Barca.

Nelson Semedo is one of the most sought-after sides of the moment. With a contract until 2022 and a release clause of 100 million euros, the Portuguese international is at a crossroads: either he renews with Barcelona, where he is very happy, or he will be doomed to an exit from the club. 

This is the case, for example, Manchester City. The English club wants to part with Joao Cancelo because Pep Guardiola is disappointed with his performance despite having bet very hard on him last summer, in an operation for which the Citizens sent Danilo to Juventus. But a year later, Pep has already found that Cancelo, despite being brilliant in attack, does not give him the tactical rigour he needs in defense. Something he thinks Semedo can give him. 

While for Barça, Cancelo is a player who attracts in the technical secretariat precisely because he has one more point of daring and clairvoyance in attack than that provided by Semedo. Therefore, the exchange that 'The Independent' spoke about for the first time a few weeks ago is a feasible option.

It is also true that Semedo can enter into the signing operation of Lautaro since Inter is also valued his profile, such as that of other players such as Arturo Vidal, Aleñá, Umtiti, Todibo or Emerson.

In addition, the Portuguese is also being followed by PSG, who moved to sign him last summer, just like Atlético de Madrid. In this sense, few clubs pay better than the Parisian one, where Mendes has a good start. A PSG where there is another player that Barça has on its list of strategic reinforcements: Neymar. The coronavirus has complicated its return, but Semedo can make the operation cheaper
