The transfer saga involving Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Nelson Semedo has taken another turn, with the full-back pleading with Barca to consider the Rojiblancos' offer of €25 million (£22m/$28m) for his services.
Goal published recently that the Blaugrana had no interest in selling Semedo, but the player himself has asked the Spanish champions to reconsider as Diego Simeone's side have offered the 25-year-old a spot in their starting XI – something Barca cannot guarantee.
Indeed, the Portugal international has been sharing the right-back spot with Sergi Roberto, with the former racking up 26 La Liga appearances last season while the latter amassed 29.
