Wolves Fans Buzzing After Nelson Semedo Hints at Potential Stay Amid Contract Talks
Nelson Semedo’s future at Wolves has sparked new excitement among supporters after the wing-back provided an encouraging update following the 3-0 win over Leicester City.
The Portuguese defender is among a handful of players whose contracts are set to expire this summer, raising concerns that Wolves could once again lose a key figure in the dressing room. Just a few months ago, it seemed increasingly likely that Semedo would leave, particularly with Wolves reportedly aiming to trim their wage bill and Semedo being one of the club’s higher earners.
However, the situation appears to have taken a positive turn.
Manager Vitor Pereira has openly expressed his desire to keep Semedo, consistently relying on the experienced full-back since his arrival at Molineux.
Now, Semedo himself has shed light on his future, offering fresh hope to the fanbase.
## Nelson Semedo Opens Up on Contract Negotiations
Speaking after Saturday’s dominant victory, Semedo confirmed that discussions over a new deal are ongoing.
He said: *“Yes, we’re still in conversations and I think it’s possible.”*
When asked about the importance of maintaining a stable core within the squad, Semedo added:
*“Definitely, definitely. I think that’s the main point actually, to keep most of the players so we can pass on the way we play.
They can pass on Vitor’s ideas as a coach and make it easier for new players to adapt quickly, so they can just focus on their football and perform well.”*
## Positive Fan Reaction to Semedo’s Comments
Many Wolves supporters reacted with delight to Semedo’s remarks across social media platforms. While some were prepared for the possibility of his departure, the latest comments have breathed new optimism into the situation.
Although there’s still no guarantee Semedo will stay, it now seems far more likely that he could commit to extending his time at Molineux.
## Keeping Semedo Would Be a Big Win for Wolves
After enjoying arguably his strongest campaign for Wolves during 2023/24 — culminating in winning the Players’ Player of the Season award — Semedo’s value to the squad is clear.
While the start of the 2024/25 season saw some struggles under Gary O’Neil, Semedo has flourished again under Pereira’s leadership and has embraced the responsibilities of captaincy with confidence.
With Pereira keen to build a squad based on cohesion and experience, securing Semedo’s future would represent a major boost heading into the next season. Given his performances and leadership qualities, Semedo still has plenty to offer at Premier League level.
