Bournemouth is bracing for serious interest from Liverpool for Semenyo (rivaling Manchester City)
Liverpool remain firmly in the mix for Bournemouth's shining forward Antoine Semenyo, even as Manchester City appear to hold pole position with the January window just days away.
The 25-year-old Ghana international boasting nine Premier League goals and three assists this season has a £65m release clause that activates on January 1, 2026, and runs only until January 10. This narrow timeframe is forcing swift decisions, with Semenyo himself keen to resolve his future before the New Year kicks off.
City have accelerated their pursuit, holding imminent meetings with his representatives and reportedly aligning on personal terms. Bournemouth are bracing for formal contact from the Etihad side, yet sources close to the situation insist the door is far from closed for others. Liverpool's interest endures, fueled by sporting director Richard Hughes' strong Bournemouth ties and the Reds' need for attacking reinforcement amid Mohamed Salah's AFCON absence and broader squad concerns.
While Semenyo's preference reportedly leans toward City, no deal is signed, and the Reds could still pounce if negotiations stall especially as Bournemouth hope to retain him for their early-January clashes against Arsenal and Tottenham before any exit.
Whether Liverpool formalise a bid in the coming hours remains the key question as the clock ticks toward the window's opening.
This one could still twist dramatically watch January 1 closely. 🔴
