Everything you need to know about Antoine Semenyo's future with Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham in transfer race for Bournemouth star...
Manchester City: City are described as being serious contenders and are "seriously considering" activating his release clause. Reports suggest they have made formal inquiries and view him as a dynamic addition to their attack.
Manchester United: The Reds are also lurking and are keen on the player, potentially to bolster their attack, especially with a need for more firepower in January.
Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs are said to be "stepping up" and "intensifying their interest," looking to move quickly to get ahead of their rivals. They were reportedly deterred by Bournemouth's valuation last summer but are now more willing to meet the current asking price, as per Sky Sports.
Liverpool: Arne Slot's side have a long-standing interest in Semenyo and view him as a potential long-term successor to Mohamed Salah. However, they are reportedly drawing up a "Plan B" shortlist due to the strong interest from Manchester City.
Release Clause: Semenyo's contract is widely reported to include a release clause, which is generally cited to be £65million.
Clause Deadline: Some reports suggest the clause is active only in the opening week of the January window, or that it must be triggered by an undisclosed date this January to give Bournemouth time for a replacement.
Future Clause: Interestingly, one report suggests the release clause drops to nearer £50million in the summer 2026 transfer window, which may be why Bournemouth is keen to encourage a January auction.
Top performances: The 25-year-old Ghanaian international has been in excellent form for Bournemouth, recording six goals and three assists in just 12 Premier League appearances this season.
Sell-on clause: His former club, Bristol City, stands to benefit significantly from a move due to a reported 20% sell-on clause. If the £65m clause is met, this could net the Championship club around £11million.
