Antoine Semenyo is expected to leave AFC Bournemouth during the January transfer window, with several top Premier League clubs locked in an intense race for the Ghana international’s signature.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Semenyo has a £65 million release clause in his contract, which is due to expire on January 10. With interest accelerating, the 24-year-old winger is understood to be preparing to decide on his preferred destination before the window closes.
Liverpool have been monitoring Semenyo closely since November and are now believed to be weighing up a formal move following concerns over attacking depth after injury setbacks. Manchester United have also entered the fray, with negotiations reportedly ongoing between the player’s representatives and the Old Trafford hierarchy.
Manchester City are likewise said to be in discussions with Semenyo’s camp, viewing his pace, power and versatility across the front line as a strong fit for Pep Guardiola’s system. Chelsea, continuing their aggressive recruitment strategy, have made fresh contact to enquire about the conditions of a potential deal.
Semenyo has been one of Bournemouth’s standout performers this season, contributing goals, assists and relentless work rate, while also cementing his importance to the Ghana Black Stars. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with many pundits tipping him for a move to a club competing regularly for major honours.
Should the transfer materialise, it would represent one of the most significant moves involving a Ghanaian player in recent years, further underlining Semenyo’s rapid rise in English football. The coming days are expected to be decisive as the winger weighs his options amid growing competition for his services.
