Benfica right-back Nelson Semedo has completed his €30 million move to Barcelona following a successful medical on Friday.
The 23-year-old became a priority target for Barcelona this month after it became clear they couldn’t get Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin.
Barca announced on Thursday that they had reached a deal for Semedo , after their transfer chief flew to Lisbon to negotiate them down from their steep €50m valuation .
He’s new coach Ernesto Valverde’s third signing of the transfer window, following the return of Gerard Deulofeu and arrival of young centre-back Marlon.
