Arsenal and Manchester United are still said to be in the race for the Benfica right-back Nélson Semedo.
According to the article, Semedo’s agent Jorge Mendes has already received a few approaches from these clubs, but the decision on a sale belongs to the Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira.
With all this competition, it’s no surprise that Benfica are protecting themselves via the release clause, which is a rather hefty €60m.
Record references that Bayern Munich have just spent a huge amount on a Benfica youngster when they bought Renato Sanches for €35m, and the transfer could reach up to €60m. So the Portuguese club would want to do the same with Semedo, given that his departure in the next summer is a real possibility.
