Exclusive: Long contract offer on the table for key Wolves defender

Nelson Semedo has a four-year Wolves contract on the table and is assessing his options over his future at the club, the Express & Star understands.

The 31-year-old will become a free agent this summer when his current deal expires and he is attracting interest from a number of clubs.

Wolves are keen to keep the skipper, who is an influential player in the dressing room, and they have offered him a new four-year deal that will see him remain as one of the club's highest paid players next season.

However, the defender is free to talk to other clubs and assess his options before deciding where his future lies.

It is understood that Semedo has not yet communicated his decision to Wolves, with his future at the club uncertain, while he has also not ruled out potentially staying.

It is believed Semedo has already recorded a goodbye video for supporters, which will be published if the player does decide to depart.

It is understood that video has been recorded ahead of time before the player jets off on holiday next week when the Premier League season is over.

After previous players have left without an opportunity to say their goodbyes, it is also understood Wolves were keen to give the player an adequate send-off if he does decide to move on.

Semedo joined Wolves from Barcelona in 2020 in a deal initially worth £27.5million, but likely to rise above £30million when certain conditions were met.

He signed a three-year deal, with a two-year option to extend that was exercised.

Semedo has been a key player for Wolves during that time, under five different managers, and was made captain in December after Gary O'Neil stripped Mario Lemina of the armband.

The Express & Star understands that Semedo has impressed as skipper behind the scenes.
