Nafisa“He’s More Likely to Leave”: Major Exit Looms as Wolves Face Nervous Wait Over Key Star’s Future
Nelson Semedo’s future at Wolverhampton Wanderers is hanging by a thread, with growing indications that the Portuguese full-back could be on his way out of Molineux this summer. The experienced defender is approaching the end of his contract, and despite attempts from Wolves to secure an extension, no agreement has been reached.
Journalist Graeme Bailey has told *Molineux News* that Semedo is expected to depart, with a move abroad—potentially a return to Benfica—looking increasingly likely. Wolves had hoped to retain the 30-year-old, but current signs suggest that he may opt for a fresh challenge elsewhere in Europe.
As Wolves brace for Semedo’s possible exit, they are actively exploring replacements. Southampton’s Kyle Walker-Peters is reportedly high on their shortlist. The versatile full-back, who is also attracting interest from Everton, Fulham, Leeds United, and former club Tottenham, could soon become a free agent, making him an attractive and cost-effective target.
Bailey noted that Walker-Peters is weighing his options carefully, but Wolves’ next move will largely hinge on whether Semedo decides to leave. If the Portuguese international does move on, strengthening the right-back position will become a top priority for Julen Lopetegui’s side.
Semedo has played a pivotal role for Wolves in recent seasons, and replacing him with a player of similar quality and experience will be vital if the club is to stay competitive in the Premier League. Aiming for mid-table stability, Wolves will need to act decisively during the summer transfer window to reinforce their squad and avoid being drawn into a relegation scrap.
