Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for La Liga on Sunday, September 20.

Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in La Liga on Sunday, September 20.

Sunday morning's La Liga transfer talk news roundup:


Barcelona 'prepared to sell Nelson Semedo to Premier League club'

Barcelona are reportedly prepared to allow Nelson Semedo to join a Premier League club this summer.

The Portugal international is not believed to be in the long-term plans of new Barca boss Ronald Koeman, who is allegedly targeting a move for Ajax right-back Sergino Dest.

Semedo was linked with a switch to Manchester City earlier this summer although suggestions that the defender could join Pep Guardiola's side have quietened in recent weeks.

According to ESPN, Barca have been contacted by an unnamed Premier League club and are open to the 26-year-old moving to England's top flight before the end of the transfer window.

Semedo has been a regular for the Catalan giants since arriving from Benfica in 2017, making 124 appearances in all competitions.

The Portuguese's current deal at Camp Nou is due to expire in the summer of 2022.



Barcelona 'banned from signing Georginio Wijnaldum'

Barcelona have reportedly been forced to give up their pursuit of Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum for the time being.

With former Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman now in charge at Camp Nou, Wijnaldum has been strongly linked with a switch to Catalonia alongside international teammate Memphis Depay.

However, the financial implications of the coronavirus pandemic has forced the governing body to step in and curb clubs' spending during the transfer window.

The Mirror reports that La Liga have blocked Barcelona from signing any new players until they trim down their mammoth £510m wage bill, meaning that Wijnaldum and Depay will be staying put at Liverpool and Lyon respectively for now.

Given the fact that the Spanish government has assisted clubs financially during this period, Barca would also have to fork out the same figure as the transfer fee to the authorities for their help.

However, with Wijnaldum's deal at Anfield set to expire next summer, the midfielder could move to Camp Nou on a free in less than 12 months' time - with personal terms already understood to have been agreed.
