Semedo joined Olympiacos in the summer of 2019, a switch that marked an end to his torrid time in Spain with Villarreal.
The centre-back came through the ranks at Sporting and played every minute of Olympiacos’ four Champions League qualifiers as they were knocked down to the Europa League by Ludogorets.
