The right-back is expected to sign a five-year contract at Camp Nou after an initial fee of €30million was agreed between the clubs.
The Catalans hope to have Semedo travel with the squad next Wednesday for their pre-season tour of the United States.
Barca reportedly turned to Semedo after being rebuffed by Arsenal in their pursuit of Hector Bellerin, with a new right-back having been designated one of their priorities for next season.
The 23-year-old Portugal international is new coach Ernesto Valverde’s third signing of the transfer window, following the arrivals of Gerard Deulofeu and young centre-back Marlon.
President Josep Maria Bartomeu stated this week that they hope to complete “two or three” deals before the window closes next month.
