Barcelona’s Nelson Semedo is on the brink of securing a Summer transfer window move to Manchester City according to a report from Spanish news outlet Sport.

The Portuguese national team defender is set to be exchanged for compatriot Joao Cancelo with the reigning Premier League champions also set to throw in some cash on top of Cancelo due to the fact Semedo has a higher transfer value.

Barcelona have given Semedo’s agent Jorge Mendes the green light to negotiate his departure from the club and Manchester City have led the way for his signature from the beginning.

Barcelona are weighing up the latest offer that they have received from Manchester City and sources close to the deal have told Sport that a deal is getting closer.

Semedo has also been linked with a move to Inter in recent weeks but Antonio Conte’s Nerazzurri would appear set to miss out on the former Benfica player.
