French media: Marseille and Semedo have in-depth negotiations, Wolves want to keep him, Benfica is also interested

June 6 French media footmercato reported that Marseille is actively seeking signings in the summer transfer market, has reached an agreement with Angel Gomez and is close to signing Wolves right-back Nelson Semedo.

Marseille Club has been making frequent moves in the transfer market recently, with the goal of forming a competitive team to strive for good results in the Ligue 1 and to have excellent performance in the Champions League. In the past few hours, Marseille's transfer progress has accelerated significantly. After reaching a preliminary agreement with Lille midfielder Angel Gomez, they have in-depth negotiations with free agent Semedo.

The 31-year-old Portuguese international Semedo has played for Benfica and Barcelona. He has been an important part of the team since joining Wolves for €32 million five years ago. The Lisbon-born player has rarely been injured, making 34 appearances in the Premier League this season and contributing four assists. He is outstanding in speed, dribbling skills, endurance and technical abilities.

These advantages attracted the attention of Marseille coach Medi Benatia and the club management. However, Marseille still needs to try to convince the opponent if he wants to sign Semedo, because Wolves don't want to lose the right-back who is participating in the UEFA League game. The English club has offered Semedo a new contract with a significant increase in salary. At the same time, Semedo's old club Benfica also hopes to welcome the old player back. The next few hours will be the decisive moment.
