Overview
- Fabrizio Romano reports there is a good chance of a January move, citing a £60m fee plus £5m in add-ons written into Semenyo’s deal.
- Liverpool are viewed as leading the race, with reports saying club officials recently held talks with Bournemouth about a potential transfer.
- Manchester United are considered unlikely to hijack the move, with coverage stressing a £65m outlay would be difficult and that their January priority is a midfielder after spending over £200m on attackers in the summer.
- Tottenham remain among the clubs linked as suitors weigh up whether to trigger the clause during the winter window.
- Semenyo’s strong start to the season — six goals and three assists in 11 league games — is driving interest from top Premier League sides.
