CONFIRMED : Arsenal star will remain at the Emirates after club announce agreement reached

Barcelona have affirmed they have achieved a concurrence with Benfica to sign full-back Nelson Semedo, pending a medical.

The 23-year-old safeguard has been the subject of savage enthusiasm from the Catalunya club as of late, as they looked to understand their issues at appropriate back.

Neither Aleix Vidal nor Sergi Roberto figured out how to stake a normal claim for the post last season, with Barca debilitated by the flight of Dani Alves to Juventus.

Yet, after converses with Benfica demonstrated effective, the club declared that Semedo would soon be landing at Camp Nou.

"FC Barcelona and Benfica have gone to an understanding over the marking of Nelson Semedo, subject to the therapeutic tests he will experience this Friday in Barcelona," a Barca explanation confirmed.

The privilege back is relied upon to sign a five-year contract at Camp Nou after an underlying expense of €30million was concurred between the clubs.

The Catalans want to have Semedo go with the squad next Wednesday for their pre-season voyage through the United States.

Barca apparently swung to Semedo in the wake of being rebuked by Arsenal in their quest for Hector Bellerin, with another privilege back having been assigned one of their needs for next season.

The Portugal universal is new mentor Ernesto Valverde's third marking of the exchange window, following the entries of Gerard Deulofeu and youthful focus back Marlon.

President Josep Maria Bartomeu expressed for the current week that they would like to finish "a few" arrangements before the window closes one month from now.
