Nélson Semedo may be heading to Italy, with top agent Jorge Mendes working to secure him a move to Juventus.
Following his exit from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer, the experienced full-back is now on the market as a free agent.

According to La Stampa, Mendes has offered Semedo to the Turin-based club. Juventus are currently searching for a replacement for Timothy Weah, who is close to sealing a move to Marseille.

Knowing this, Mendes is positioning Semedo as a ready-made option. At 31, the Portuguese defender brings a wealth of experience and is seen as a valuable asset—especially since he wouldn’t cost a transfer fee.
Juventus are considering Nélson Semedo
While Semedo’s availability might tempt Juventus, the club’s current transfer policy complicates things.
Reports from Italy emphasize that Juve are prioritizing outgoing transfers before making new signings. It’s a strict “one in, one out” approach aimed at balancing the squad and wage bill.
Semedo spent five solid years at Wolves, making over 120 appearances and proving himself a reliable option on the right flank. Prior to that, he played for Barcelona and Benfica, and has two UEFA Nations League titles with Portugal.
His pedigree is not in doubt, and interest from other clubs may surface soon. Juventus, meanwhile, will weigh their options carefully before committing to a deal.
For now, Mendes continues talks behind the scenes, hoping to land Semedo a place in Serie A. With time still left in the transfer window, this story could take a turn at any moment.
