NafisaWolves Privately Brace for Nelson Semedo Exit as Contract Clock Ticks Down
With just days to go before Nelson Semedo’s contract at Wolverhampton Wanderers officially expires, Wolves supporters are still anxiously awaiting clarity over the Portuguese defender’s future. Despite five consistent seasons at Molineux since joining in 2020 — and amassing 182 appearances — signs increasingly point to the 30-year-old preparing to move on.
Following the final match of the 2024/25 season against Brentford, Semedo was visibly emotional while receiving a warm send-off from fans, suggesting a farewell might be imminent. Though he later posted on Instagram that his future was undecided, internal belief at the club tells a different story.
According to **Molineux News**, Wolves officials now suspect Semedo is leaning towards a departure, potentially to resume his career overseas — possibly even with former club Benfica. While a contract offer remains on the table and could technically still be accepted after June 30, the club is not optimistic.
Transfer insider **Graeme Bailey** added weight to the speculation, revealing that Wolves’ interest in Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters depends entirely on Semedo’s decision. Yet Bailey echoed the sense that a renewal is unlikely, with Semedo seemingly keeping his options open and interest from abroad growing.
Additional clues bolster that theory: a removal van was reportedly spotted at Semedo’s residence, and the defender has allegedly recorded a goodbye message at the Molineux, to be released if he decides to leave.
Considering Wolves’ recent struggles, Semedo’s age, and the chance of a lucrative signing bonus elsewhere, the logic behind his exit is clear. While no official word has come from the player, Wolves fans should brace for a farewell to the long-serving full-back in the coming days.
