The prospect of Nelson Semedo joining Barcelona this summer is becoming increasingly unlikely because of Benfica's demands for the player, leaving the door open for Manchester United to possibly sign the Portugal full-back.
Signing a new right-back is a priority for Barcelona this summerwith Arsenal's Hector Bellerin understood to be the club's first choice. The Gunners are determined to hold onto the 22-year-old however, and have reportedly told both the player and the Spanish giants there will be no deal this summer.The report, relayed by Marca, claims a deal with Ernesto Valverde's side is now becoming increasingly unlikely, with the Portuguese giants refusing to budge on their asking price.
That could be good news for Manchester United. Mundo Deportivo claimed earlier this month the Premier League side have lodged a €35m (£30.6m, $39.2m) bid for the Portugal international, who has garnered a reputation as one of the most promising right-backs around Europe.
United have already done business with Benfica this summer, signing Sweden international Victor Lindelof for a reported fee of £31m.
The club are also expected to conclude a deal for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata next week, with the club also still persistently linked with a move for Monaco midfielder Fabinho.
