Super-agent Jorge Mendes is trying to secure Nélson Semedo a move to Juventus after the defender became a free agent following his departure from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Nélson Semedo Juventus transfer is being explored after the Serie A side began searching for a replacement for Timothy Weah, who is expected to join Marseille. According to La Stampa, via Bianconera News, Mendes has stepped in to position Semedo as an experienced, low-cost solution for the Bianconeri.
Why Juventus Are a Possible Landing Spot
Juventus are currently operating under a strict one-in, one-out policy, and will only make additions once outgoings are confirmed. With Weah’s exit close, they will soon need a new right-sided full-back — and Semedo fits the bill: cheap, proven, and experienced.
“Semedo is seen as a market opportunity given he’s available on a free and has high-level experience,” reported La Stampa. — via Bianconera News
Semedo’s Time at Wolves
Semedo spent five seasons at Molineux after joining from Barcelona in 2020. Despite some inconsistency, he was a reliable presence on the right and ended his Wolves spell with over 140 appearances in all competitions.
At 31, he may no longer be in his prime, but his Champions League, La Liga, and Premier League experience make him a valuable short-term option for top European sides.

Analyst Verdict
Semedo won’t set pulses racing — but for a club like Juventus needing depth and discipline at right-back, he’s a low-risk, high-utility signing.
His attacking output has dipped in recent seasons, but his defensive positioning and experience in high-pressure environments could help Juventus manage multiple competitions while sticking to their lean wage policy.
Whether Juve make a move will depend entirely on how quickly they finalise Timothy Weah’s exit — and how long Semedo is willing to wait.
