La Stampa report (as quoted by ilbianconero) that Nelson Semedo has surfaced as a potential target for Juventus, particularly as the club looks to reinforce their right flank. This move is under consideration due to the possible departure of Timothy Weah to Marseille, though no official offer has yet materialized for the American. Semedo, a Portuguese international of Cape Verdean descent, was born in 1993 and has a notable international pedigree, highlighted by winning the UEFA Nations League with Portugal in 2018-2019 and again in 2024-2025. As of July 1, Semedo is a free agent following the conclusion of his five-year stint at Wolverhampton Wanderers, which began in 2020 after a €32 million transfer from Barcelona. Prior to his time in La Liga, Barcelona had signed him from Benfica in 2017.
Agent Presentation and Career Overview
According to the latest edition of La Stampa, it was Semedo’s agent, Jorge Mendes, who directly offered him to Juventus — continuing a professional relationship that has previously brought several players to Turin, most recently Francisco Conceicao from Porto. Semedo boasts significant experience:
165 appearances in the Premier League, tallying 1 goal and 9 assists.
82 appearances in La Liga, scoring 2 goals and providing 7 assists.
His career has been distinguished by outstanding speed along the wing and strong dribbling skills.
Technical Characteristics
Semedo is known for his offensive capabilities, excelling at crossing and creating chances for teammates. While his defensive skills are not as prominent, his passing precision stands out, enabling some managers to deploy him in midfield roles, although his natural position remains right-back.
