What’s the answer to the Semedo/Roberto conundrum for Barcelona?

After an end of season where he wasn’t played as much as he would like or expect, and having been subbed off in the Copa del Rey final, Nelson Semedo appears to have made a decision. He wants out of FC Barcelona.

He’s no Dani Alves - but then who is - though he’s certainly an upgrade on Sergi Roberto in the right-back position.

The midfielder was shoe-horned in there by Luis Enrique to plug a hole, and did a reasonable enough job that he ended up with a semi-permanent role on the right side of defence.
