| Who will win battle for Semedo ? |
Ederson who completed £35 million move from Benfica, expects Semedo and Alex Grimaldo to leave Portuguese Champions.
Pep Guardiola is keen on bringing in the full back and will face competition from arch-rivals Manchester United as Jose Mourinho looks to buy a full back as back up to Antonio Valencia.
“Benfica lets three players out but then stabilises quickly. In recent years it has always been like this, it is a club that has formed great players.
“For example, I think Benfica will not be able to hold on to Grimaldo and Nelson Semedo for long.
“Football has become a business and those who have more money have the best players.”
Semedo has been on Benfica’s books since 2012, but the 2016-17 campaign proved to be a breakthrough year for him as he made 46 appearances in all competitions.
