Nelson Semedo may hold the key to Barcelona’s summer pursuit of both Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann and Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar.
Griezmann remains likely to join the Liga champions, with an agreement between the France international and Barca on personal terms having already been reached.
