Barcelona is in pursuit of the Portuguese replacement, Dest, who is currently playing for Ajax.

The Portuguese full-back says goodbye to Barca after three seasons and 122 appearances as a Blaugrana.

Nélson Semedo arrived in the summer of 2017 from Benfica, becoming the ninth Portuguese player in the club's history.

In that time, he has made 122 appearances: 82 in La Liga, 23 in the Champions League, 16 in the Copa del Rey, and two in the Spanish Super Cup.

Semedo has scored two goals for Barcelona. He got the first goal of a 2-0 win at Girona in 2018/19 and was also on target in the last game of last season, away to Alavés.

He takes his leave with 4 trophies; La Liga (2017/18 and 2018/19), Copa del Rey (2017/18), and Spanish Super Cup (2018/19).
