Fabrizio Romano has suggested that Wolverhampton Wanderers are "one step away" from signing Barcelona full-back Nelson Semedo.

The trusted journalist suggested the Premier League outfit submitted a bid on Saturday, which the Catalan giants are now ready to accept.

There is still some work to be done before the deal can be completed, as Wolves' representatives will need to agree on personal terms with the 26-year-old, who has a total of 14 caps for Portugal.

Despite the progress that still needs to be made, Romano has suggested the deal could be completed "soon", with Arturo Vidal also likely to leave Camp Nou, alongside Semedo, to join Internazionale.

Semedo was an unused substitute in Barcelona's 1-0 victory over Elche in the Joan Gamper Trophy, which was won thanks to a second-minute goal from Antoine Griezmann, with Sergi Roberto playing the entire 90 minutes at right-back.

The right-back started 31 games across La Liga and the Champions League for Barca last term, coming off the bench eight more times, scoring one goal and providing three assists for his teammates throughout the campaign.

Semedo has been likened to Dani Alves in the past because of the way he "loves to attack the wing, get behind defenders and latch on to through balls. He's incredibly quick and his skilful feet allowing him to beat a man."

This move comes after Wolves sold Matt Doherty to Tottenham Hotspur for £14.7m earlier in the transfer window, as was reported by The Guardian at the time.

He's likely to cost Molineux owner Jeff Shi around €40m (£36.7m) with super-agent Jorge Mendes representing the player.
