Manchester United have expressed an interest in acquiring Nelson Semedo, with the right-back poised to leave Wolverhampton Wanderers as a free agent at the end of June when his contract runs out.
During discussions about Cunha, who is anticipated to secure a permanent move to United for the upcoming season, Semedo’s name surfaced internally at the club. United is nearing the activation of the Brazilian’s release clause, and the conversation around his transfer opened the door to the possibility of Semedo joining as well.
The 31-year-old, who has captained Wolves, is likely to depart despite being presented with a four-year contract renewal. His farewell at the last home game, where he was warmly applauded by supporters, strongly suggested a summer departure. Throughout the Premier League season, Semedo provided consistent performances, concluding the campaign as a reliable player in England’s elite league, according to SciSports.
Previously with Barcelona, Semedo has made over 180 appearances for Wolves since his €32 million transfer in 2020 and is highly regarded within the squad. His availability on a free transfer is viewed as a chance for United to bolster their right-back options with a seasoned, Premier League-proven talent.
Although no deal has been finalized, United’s interest could escalate swiftly as they aim to rejuvenate the team under Ruben Amorim and bolster Cunha’s arrival with a familiar presence. If terms are agreed upon, Semedo might follow Cunha to Manchester, resulting in a budget-friendly dual acquisition from Wolves.
