Wolverhampton Wanderers has signed Nelson Semedo from Barcelona for a fee around £37 Million with an option to extend until 2025.
The premier league club announced the 26-year-old had signed a three-year deal at Molineux.
Wolves disclosed the signing of Semedo from Barcelona on Wednesday for a fee that could reportedly rise to £37 million ($47 million).
The Portugal international, who made 124 appearances for Barcelona, joins Nuno Espirito Santo’s side after three seasons at the Nou Camp.
“I chose Wolves because it’s a very good team that plays very good football,” he told the club’s website.
“Last year they had a very good season and it’s a very important team in England, in also Europe. I hope this year we can do very good things.”
Semedo is looking forward to linking up with his compatriot Nuno.
He said: “Coach Nuno is a very good coach. He did very good things here at Wolves, and at other teams too. For sure, I’m going to learn a lot from him.”
The move will also unite Semedo with a number of his international team-mates.
Wolves executive chairman Jeff Shi said the signing was a coup for the club.
“It’s isn’t often that we have the opportunity to sign a world-class player from a world-class club,” he said.
“Nelson’s signing shows we will never stop progressing and we are still hungry and humble in our heart.”
