Nelson Semedo is one of several players who could leave Wolves this summer.
The wing-back is out of contract at the end of the current campaign, and speculation has been rife about his future.
Earlier this year, it was suggested Semedo was more likely to leave Wolves than stay.
But recently, fans got excited when Semedo suggested a contract extension at Wolves was still possible.
But there has still been no movement, and some are now starting to feel like he’ll be moving on. With Wolves’ final game taking place this weekend, it’s very possible an announcement could be made soon.
On social media, a picture has been circulating that depicts a removal van at Nelson Semedo’s house. But there’s been no verification on that.
Semedo has been linked with a move to Benfica, but one Portuguese outlet has now set the record straight.
Removal van picture not related to Nelson Semedo exit as Benfica claim made
Earlier this week, there was more speculation about Semedo’s future at Wolves.
And one photo has been doing the rounds online, with a claim being made that a removal van was at Semedo’s home.
The suggestion would be that he is packing up his things ahead of moving away, with his contract at Molineux soon expiring.
Over in Portugal, one of the biggest outlets Record have covered the situation – and they say that it has nothing to do with Benfica.
Benfica fans had apparently also seen this image, and had got excited because the removal van has ‘Trans-Portugal’ on it. This is a transportation service based in London.
But Record have poured cold water on this meaning Semedo is set to join Benfica.
On their pursuit of the player, they say that there has been ‘no progress’ for Benfica and that there is merely just interest at this stage.
Wolves will be stung by any Nelson Semedo exit this
So Benfica seemingly aren’t on the verge of signing Semedo, but potentially he could still be on the move.
It’s hard to think Semedo won’t have a few more suitors given his status as a proven player in the Premier League who’s about to become a free agent.
Semedo leaving Wolves would be a blow for Vitor Pereira.
While he does have the odd lapse every now and then, Semedo is by and large a very dependable defender.
And he’s also proven to be a very good captain, after the antics of Mario Lemina prompted the need for a new skipper.
Rodrigo Gomes struggled against Crystal Palace, exposing that Semedo leaving would be a blow. Hopefully, the club can sign a worthy replacement.
