DBasia.news – Manchester City wiped out the domestic title in the 2018/19 season. Last season, The Citizens won the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup titles.
Although they already have a squad inhabited by a number of quality players, it does not necessarily make City reluctant to increase the strength of the team during the 2019/20 season, previously they succeeded in making Rodri the most expensive recruit in the history of the club.
Not satisfied, now according to Sport English reports, The Citizens are reportedly interested in bringing Nelson Semedo. In fact, they have contacted the Blaugrana regarding the plan to bring in the right-back player.
Unfortunately, the opportunity to immediately secure the signature of Semedo seems to be challenging to realize, Barca did not have a plan to release the player, City also had to redeem the release clause which was at 100 million euros.
In addition, Pep Guardiola’s move to wanting to bring Semedo was because they found it difficult to get the signature of their previous target, Joao Cancelo from Juventus.
Semedo’s appearance in the 2018/29 season was not too bad, he had become Ernesto Valverde’s first choice and appeared in 46 matches and helped his team retain the La Liga title.
The opportunity to immediately land the Portuguese player at the Etihad Stadium seemed to be going to be challenging, apart from Barca who reportedly had refused many offers that came to Semedo, the club also claimed to have prepared a new contract for the 25-year-old player.
