Bruno Lage on Nélson Semedo to Benfica rumours: It's been ages | OneFootball

Benfica will face Fenerbahçe next Wednesday, August 27, in the second leg of the Champions League play-off. Bruno Lage gave his usual press conference previewing the match and spoke about his relationship with Nélson Semedo, a player who has already worn the Benfica jersey, but now represents the Turkish emblem.

"I haven't spoken to Nélson Semedo in a long time. Lately, I've been talking more to Dedic, Bah, and Leandro Santos", Bruno Lage started saying, with a clear message that his focus and attention are on the current players he has available to play on the right side.

Still, Bruno Lage didn't forget the moments he shared with the Portuguese international: "I had a fantastic season with Nélson Semedo at Wolves. Tomorrow, what I want, besides winning the game, is to greet Nélson Semedo and coach José Mourinho. But the most important thing is to win the game".

Nélson Semedo, recall, ended his contract with Wolverhampton at the end of the past season. A free agent, the Portuguese international saw his name constantly linked to a return to Luz that ultimately didn't materialize, with Benfica opting to sign Amar Dedic, the new owner of the right-back position.
